Bog/Veggie filters DIY quesiotns.
I'm damn sure I'm going to need more filtration for my pond. I have set
aside an area for this. It just so happens I had made the area while designing the pond, so lucky me. The area is about 4-5"s deep. I can elongate it with sand & pea rock if I have to too add the filter. Do I have to have all the plants in containers, one big container all together or plant them right in the pea/soil bed? Can I just run a water line after the submersible filer/pump I already have to the bog and control the water flow with a valve? The plumbing aspect of ponding isn't really a problem for me seeing as that's what I do for a living. its the balancing for the pond that's got me scathing my head. I went to a wicked awesome nursery today & bought some plants for the bog (grasses) and some more oxygenating plants for the bottom as well. So is this a bog or a veggie filter? They the same thing more or less. Can someone explain it to me like a 3 year old. I could build a filer box as well but which method works best? If I do go this route I'll use a flower pot as I want keep the pond as natural as possible. I don't want to see plastic boxes everywhere. I don't want to use chemicals if I DON'T HAVE TO either. I've been reading that DIY is a good way to go. I take it the filter box should filter as slowly as possible through the system without compensating water flow back to the pond. Again thanks in advance for the input people. -- The~Doofie~Man © "LET ME SEE YOUR CIGARETTE LIGHTERS!!!!!" Putting the fun back in FUNeral!! http://www.geocities.com/doof70/index.html |
