I have outflow from a pond I built directed towards the bog land. The water
hits the bog, spreads out and then refunnels at the other side and continues
on to the community creek.

I built a large wetland/bog area (1.5 acres). It doesn't stink unless
I'm
down in it pulling stuff up for research purposes.

Sam,

Do you have a high water table on your bog land or did you have to close
it in somehow to retain the water. I was thinking on excavating my bog
to 18"D and filling most of the area with 3/8" stone so that I would
have it easier to pull thin out the area of unwanted plants. Perhapps I
should go a little deeper.
