The mini-bog was sinking. Not good.
I had dug out and installed the mini-bog when it was very wet. Then we hit a dry spell, and the water went away. And the bog, a hole filled with peat moss, shrunk.
Drastic measures were called for. So I dug out the plants. And then I dug out the bog. I put in a liner, left over from the 'big bog', jabbed some holes in it, and put the peat moss back in.
And then a I added more peat moss. Next the plants were replanted. The ones that had survived that is.
I gathered some cedar bark from the back woods to use as edging.
So far it has been holding up. We'll see what happens in the heat of the summer. Fingers crossed.
