Detailed explanation-1: -Chinampa (Nahuatl languages: chināmitl [tʃiˈnaːmitɬ]) is a technique used in Mesoamerican agriculture which relies on small, rectangular areas of fertile arable land to grow crops on the shallow lake beds in the Valley of Mexico.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Aztecs farmed the marshlands of ancient Mexico by piling up layers of dirt, mud, and vegetation to form chinampas, or floating gardens. The marsh’s nutrient-rich water and mud allowed the Aztecs to grow such crops as corn, tomatoes, and squash.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once the floating island was secure and useable, the Aztecs used it to plant their principal crop: corn. They also grew various vegetables (such as avocados, beans, chili peppers, squash, and tomatoes), and sometimes-even flowers. Unfortunately, the Aztecs had no animals or machines to help them work the land.
