Not to split hairs here, but a true bog shouldn't be used to filter a pond.
A true bog is highly acidic and full of anaerobic bacteria, with little to
no water movement. Anything other than this is still a veggie filter, imo.

K30, I think you need to invite BV over to help clean up your over run bog
area. I don't think he got the point of how hard this is going to be to get
under control and just saw how easy it was for you to creat it. ;o) ~ jan

I saw Richard's post on the bog garden, and so am now inspired. Oh great,
thanks Richard...My kitchen is 3/4 done, my master bath is gutted, the
playroom is framed by not wired or sheetrocked, and my stream is leaking
water. So what am I going to do? Start another damn pond project.

OK, so my question is...I currently have a pond with a bottom drain that
feeds a VF. I'd like to build a bog garden for the fun and the look, but
would also like it to have a purpose, and do some filtration.

I have no idea how to plumb it? How do I get pond water to it, and then back
to the pond on a slow cycle?
