Bog Garden Illustrations

1. Dig a hole 6-18 inches deep in an area receiving at least six hours of daily sunlight. A low area or poorly drained area is ideal. You can also use a site next to a water garden or pond where it's easy to keep the bog garden's soil moist.

2. Spread liner over the hole. Pierce the liner every 3 feet or so with a garden fork. Spread 1-2 inches of pea gravel on the bottom of the hole. Trim the liner to conceal it under the soil's surface.

3. Build a dam of earth while you are digging or make one from rocks. Position the dam between the bog and water garden. Place the liner against the rocks to prevent soil from washing into the water garden. Leave holes in the dam or insert PVC pipe to create a passage for the water.

4. Fill the bog with high-quality, moisture-retentive topsoil. Insert the water plants of your choice and water them well. Fertilize periodically with compost.
