When you were Googling giant hogweed, did you read the part about it causing blisters, severe rashes and permanent scarring?

Just what I needed right now! Best description I've found. Thank you..

I would love to create a bog garden, thank you for showing us what to do.💚🙃

I really enjoy your videos. This was especially helpful because I have areas where this will work in backyard. Thanks for this information.

Thank you! This is great!

Can wild rice be grown in an environment like this? Or maybe in a pot on the shelf of a pond?

I believe the holes are important to draw oxygen/air down into the substrate.

I've always wanted to make a small bog with sundews and pitcher plants. Maybe this year, but I need a couple of those alligators because I hate mosquitos.

Don’t worry, wasps and dragonflies are your friends. And don’t forget bats!

Thanks so much for this information. I will definitely be using your technique. If you wanted to plant a moisture loving plant in the regular garden, could you make the planting hole a mini bog using your method?

So I dug a hole in clay soil - thought it might not drain, but it does, slowly. over a couple of days from full to empty. I'm thinking of just dumping the moss in there, no plastic, and see what happens. What do you think would happen?

Baby alligators... good idea! The crazy thing is I bet I could find someone to sell me some baby alligators in Toronto.. lol

Bog gardens are perfect for carnivorous plants! Specifically North American ones.

In Central Texas, we have both killer heat and low humidity. I would love a bog garden, but I would be working against nature. Louisiana, where I used to live had lots of canals, ponds, and bog gardens. And the alligators were real.

Again, this just blows my mind. What a great idea. And thank you for showing your not-so success with the pond area. It's great to see what works but also what doesn't work so well! Do you think this same idea (potentially with more drainage) could be used essentially as a large root barrier if one were to want a large clump of some aggressively root spreading plant (ex acanthus hungaricus)? Or would 6 mil plastic be too thin to prevent intrusion?

@Gardenfundamentals1 2 жыл бұрын

What works with some spreaders is to take a large tree pot, cut the bottom off, set it in the ground so the lip is a bit above the soil level, and plant in there. The runners can only go to the edge of the pot. I find some plants don't mind this, and other just don't do well.

@@Gardenfundamentals1 Thank you very much for all your replies.

I have an area that accumulates water every time it rains or after the snow thaws, but it would get dry in the summer, would this be considered a bog area?

@Gardenfundamentals1 Жыл бұрын

yes

@christinabenner1272 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, how well would this work for carnivorous plants? I know they need a more bog environment. Would something like a lotus possibly grow in this?

@plantguy9 2 жыл бұрын

It would work very well for North American ones like flytraps, Sarracenia and Drosera.

@Gardenfundamentals1 2 жыл бұрын

It will work well for plants that like wet feed but don't need standing water.

That plastic will eventually break up into little tiny pieces and is bad for the soil and environment. Someone buried plastic like that on my property and I cannot get it out of my soil now.

@Gardenfundamentals1 Жыл бұрын

That happens when light can get to it. Under ground it lasts a very long time.
