| Charjar, This hits on one of the key elements of bog garden design, drainage. Yes, I know it sounds paradoxical, but bog gardens should be allowed to drain so that there is rarely standing water. Sometimes after a large rainstorm mine will flood a little but it always goes back down in a few hours, and never overflows. There are many different philosophies about how to provide drainage and how much. Many people poke holes in their liner. I prefer to angle the entire garden ever so slightly so that it drains out one end. The key thing to remember here is that a good bog garden remains moist, but should rarely be flooded or soggy. |
