welshguy84 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi I'm new to CPs and thought I'd show you the raised bog I've started. I'm still in the early days of CPs and still finding my feet. Most plants are only small at the moment and won't really settle in till next season. I'll list the Contents once I get home next week. All plants have come from little shop of horrors, Elvis on here, EBay and HC carnivorous plants. The barrel/container is an old water feature sump I've added a tap in the rear to drain water if needed (cant remember the name but copied off another member on here) Hope the pic works. Ill take some better ones next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nicely done. Note that not all of those plants are fully hardy so you ought to cover with a nice wad of hessian during winter (including outside of pot) or move into a frost free location.

welshguy84 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks i know it does look a little crowded but thats my excuse to extend next year when things start to grow ;). I need more room for my wish list plants ! (Not even got a Cobra lily yet) It is in a sheltered spot but will move under cover etc over winter or due to weight put a polycarb enclosure around and over it.
