Mini bog?

| Last year I made 2 small bog gardens using a large storage box and another using a large bale of spaghnum peat. I am so happy with the result and some things I've never been able to grow B4 are doing wonderfully!! Now I have some things planted in my perennial border that need more moisture than the surrounding plants. Can I plant them in buckets or large pots lined in plastic so they will hold the moisture? I don't want to dig out a large area again right now. Thanx for your help. Barbara. |

| It's been awhile since I've visited this forum but I'll try to answer your question. First of all, could you tell what plants that you want to plant in buckets? If I know the exact plants, I can give you a better answer. Scott |

Thanx for responding, Scott.
Maybe I should have explained that I'm not doing the traditional bog as discussed most of the time on this forum. All I want to do is grow perennials that require more moisture than most of the plants in my perennial borders. Things like lobelia, trolius, astilbe, tradescantia (spiderwort), swamp hibiscus, etc. Also, want to try some others such as lupines and asclepias which always die on me & wonder if they don't get enuf moisture. |
