Have you come up with a design for your bog and or pond
Thank you
@GBBUDD
The bog can only go in the area between the back of the waterfall and the court wall shown in this pic
It will be roughly 10x5 (a little larger if we can follow the contour of the wall) we plan on building it like this:
we'll dig and level, making the bog like the pond, part inground and part above ground.....then we'll build cinderblock wall and tie it to the existing wall, cover the tub with underlayment and liner.
We figured 1-1/2" -2" (?) for the pipe grid on the bottom, then 17-18" Blocks, then 2-3" river stone, then 12-14" pea gravel.
We are thinking of putting the pump in the fish pond next to the skimmer, so the pipes will go along the outside of the pond wall, then up to the top of the bog and down to the bottom of it into the grid, so the water should travel up through the layers and then return to the pond on the house side of the waterfall, through some form of spill that we have not figured out yet.
Question1 : does the pipe grid sit on the liner or do we need a thin layer of rocks first?
Question2 : can the blocks be cut to fit?
Question 3 : should we fill the gaps between the walls and the blocks with river stones?
Question4: Is the air stone a must and where do we put it?
Question 5: how much higher than the water level should we build the sides?
Question 6: Will all this work and money pay off in the end, or do you think this bog will be too small for us to even notice the difference?
