Default Problem Area - Bog Garden?

Try adding some leaves or leaf mold instead of adding more soil. Lots of
prairie plants do well in intermittently wet/dry locations. Be wary of
grasses. If they burn and you have a frame house or just a burnable house, you
can have real trouble.
Mosquitoes can be a problem. so you need to think about this. Lots of leaf
mold on top would still hold lots of water, but may be less encouraging to the
little buggers.
