Very Slow Pump for bog garden
 

The web is loaded with cheap high-volume pumps for ponds and many
things.

Well, I have that. What I don't have is a pump for my new project: a
small bog garden.
I want a pump with delivery measured in gallons (just a few) per day,
not gallons per minute or hour.

The best I can come up with is very specialized "metering" pumps that
cost several hundred dollars.
I realize there isn't much call for this sort of thing, but it seems
like somebody somewhere
has such an animal.

2 gallons per day at a head of 5 to 10 feet would be lovely. I just
want to keep the dirt wet.
No waterfalls. No splashes.

Anybody got any hints on this?

You can use a small "regular" pump if you just divert some of the water. Put
a "T" in your discharge line coming from the pump. One side of the "T" goes
to your bog while the majority of the discharge goes back to the source. Add
a valve on each line to refine your control. It is easy to have as little
water as you want going to the bog.

a water barrel that is filled once a week and a hose comes out at the bottom set on
trickle.

How about one of those black trickle hoses?
