Beth,

You say that there, they grow the sugarcane right in on the floodplain. How would it work actually in water or slightly boggy ground. I could plant in the creek bottoms here. They are full of tamarisks and other such plants. Sometimes there is no surface water, sometimes there is, (often 4-6 inches of slow moving water). When there is no surface water, there is still much subsurface.

Does that sound like something that would work for sugarcane? Or is it subject to root rot or other such with so much water? If so, would it be okay, if on the dryer land near the flowing water, with close subsurface? or ???

thanks

aaron
