Floating gardens and early rice raft farming in China

The article describes April experiments with large bamboo rafts used as floating gardens on canals. Straw and adhesive coatings support soil for planting rice and other crops. Plants mature on the raft and provide crops during drought or flood. It also mentions historical notes on PersianTurkish influences and a debate on Chinese societal conditions, with a reference to a Turanian rebellion exhibit in Washington.
