make sure the plant is securely on the logs and let it do its work; the roots will grow between the logs and not need watering.

but i have no experience doing this just some info ive read

Good point. You could use the swamp to your advantage. The crystals are probably vermiculite. A floating garden on some camouflaged styrofoam (or logs) might never need watering. Just some pots of clay pellets with a wicks in the swamp.

One of my outdoor plants was planted near a stream last year, and it never needed watering. This can be a disadvantage if you feed with water. Maybe in this case it would be best to us the soil that has time release fertilizer, or mix in some Osmicote.
