2011-11 Pond and Bog

After the rains finally started, the ground was soft enough to dig. Here are some photos of the progress with the pond and bog.

First the bog. It's primarily for carnivorous plants and other interesting little things.

It's fairly small, but this was the largest bog I could do in the space we have. We'll plant in the spring.

Next, the pond, which is adjacent.

Pond liner is expensive.

Filled this whole thing with rain water that fell directly in and rerouted off the greenhouse roof. The shallow area where the white pipe is will be planted heavily with grassy pondy plants. We'll put small fish in this summer. Nothing too big or the herons and raccoons will trash the pond.

Finished.
