Anyway has you can see it's just your bog standard garden pond filled with 6" of gravel, 12" of 50/50 peat and sand then 6" of peat.I dug the pond in the ground and packed around the sides with sand with log round to hold it all in.

JMHoff Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Very nice idea with the wood covering the sides, what kind of "gravel" are you using? (saw it in a flickr pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Awesome. How’s it looking now? I’m just down the rd in Surrey, I’m about to construct an old galvanised tin bath into a bog garden.... I’ve got a few Sarracenias, but what else do you have in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
