This upcoming year will be my first true full year for my bog filter. Last year i installed this early/mid summer and it worked great through out the year. With this unseasonally warm weather (in NY) my plants in the bog are starting to grow.
I didn't plan to do a water change on the main pond as I did one last year but should I clean up the bog yearly or every other year? It would be quite the undertaking to take out and clean up the pea gravel with all the plants I installed last year.
Just curious if anyone else thinks about this as I am sure it won't hurt either way to leave it or clean it. And FYI by clean I mean to take out he gravel and just spray it down with a hose or pressure washer...maybe add some new gravel.
