soo.. Today i decided that I was going to take my old squat-pot that I used to use as a container pond and start making it into a bog!!
so I headed to a local nursery and grabbed some sphagnum peat and some pearlite, mixed them, added washed sand to the bottom of the container, and loaded on the peat perlite mix
I also made a little water drainage reservoir to redirect extra water when it rains
this is my first attempt at making a bog, so any words of advice / revisions before I add the water and some Cps would be greatly appreciated :grin:
