Hi -
Does anyone know how to create a down flow bog? My goal is to create a bog next to my main pond, but create current below the main pond's water level when the water re-enters the main pond from the bog. I'd like this in place of a TPR if possible.
I've seen "in-pond" bog designs where blocks separate the main pond from the bog with no liner in between. Water essentially leaks out of the rocks into the main pond. Perhaps this seepage would create current below the surface? Here is an illustration of this

I'm worried about cleaning with this method though.
any suggestions would be great!
