My bog is drying out. It would cost a fortune and take all my time to keep it wet with distilled water. What do you think I should do?
I am lucky to live in an area where I can use tap water because the TDS is very low. In winter, I have no problem because between November and April we get about 50 inches of rain. But, between May and October, we may get a total of 1 inch of rain. So, I use tap water. Check out the tap water in your area. You may get lucky. You can get a report from the Water District office. Otherwise, get a RO unit.
I would be concerned about a 8' x 8' bog. How do you plan to reach the center? That is why I kept mine 3' wide.
