I created chinampas, I am the god of chinampas
Chinampas are man-made islands, not super big or super small. They were constructed out of mud, sticks, dirt and wooden poles (to keep it in place). They are sometimes referred to as 'floating island". They were made and used in the Aztec empire around their swampy island. The chinampas were used for growing crops. Almost of the the empires food was grown from the chinampas.
The term chinampas was the method that the Aztecs used to reclaim land from a swamp near their capital. They did this by digging drainage canals.
Chinampas is a special word sort of for "floating gardens." The chinampas were created because of space. The Aztecs didn't have enough room for farmland, so they created the" floating gardens" in a river near the market. Everyday they would pull the rope to pull it in and pick the grown crops. After picking them they would put more seeds in and put it back out to float. They never had to water the chinampas because lived on the water.
They were used around the year 1150 A.D.
It was swampy because it was on a lake. Also because it was on a lake they built Chinampas to expand their land
Aztec "floating gardens" called chinampas really didn't float, they were small man made islands. They were commonly used in Ancient Mexico and Central America and specifically in Tenochtitlan
Aztecs practiced a form of intensive farming called chinampa agriculture, where they built floating gardens on the shallow waters of lakes. They used a system of canals for irrigation and cultivated a variety of crops including maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers. Aztecs also used terracing, raised garden beds, and intercropping to maximize their agricultural productivity.

Chinampas are earth that floats on water made by the hand of man.Chinampas were gardens made by piling up mud from the bottom of the lake in the city of Tenochtitlan.
I think that the Aztec's created the 'floating gardens" or Chinampas. I am 99.9% sure but maybe not. Sorry if I get this question wrong. :)
Yes, The Aztecs constructed Chinampas.

The man-made islands that provided farmland for the Aztecs were called chinampas. These floating gardens were constructed by weaving together layers of soil and vegetation to create fertile land on the shallow waters of Lake Texcoco in Mesoamerica.
Farmers in Mexico utilize chinampas, traditional floating gardens, to grow various crops in a sustainable and efficient manner.
There was Lake Texcoco alongside of Tenochtitlan so it helped provide water for the chinampas.
