graibeard's Bog garden

Garden Type: Bog | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

The ‘bog’ consists of two areas, a long (2m x 0.4m) stainless steel trough 0.4m deep and a ground level bog (2m x 1.5m) also 0.4m deep that uses sheet plastic to keep the water, dirt and plantswhere they should be.

The bog, or water garden, is an experiment as it’s really a bit of a luxury in this dry (drought) climate however nothing ventured, nothing gained, besides the tanks are full.
