BV,
With bog number one I ran a long, flexible black tube along the back of
it. The
tube was drilled with holes every couple of inches. The bog was full of
large
rocks and it sits at the edge of the pond.
It worked great for a while, then the plants went crazy and filled it in
and
they would not come out! So the thing backed up and started leaking over
the
edge.

I disconnected the hose. The thing is completely filled in with this
wonderful
edgewater grass I brought back as seeds from a pond in Idaho. Six feet
tall.
Now the stuff is spreading out over the pond and sending shoots up from
the
surface.
It will be a battle this spring but we are going to try and get it under
control.

So do you circulate pond water into it? How much? How fast? Is the bog above
the pond and does it drain back via gravity?

BV.
