Message: [QUOTE="Shdwdrgn, post: 132363, member: 672"] Small children, cover your ears... I'm about to use a four-letter word... [b]I'm DONE!!![/b] I readjusted a spot in the bog liner today and used some of the seam tape to stick the folds together. It appears I no longer have that small leak I was seeing (so far the ground is dry). While I had a bunch of the gravel out of the way, I poured in all of the peat and sphagnum moss I had, then buried it under the layer of gravel. This will hopefully give me a more acidic bed for my carnivorous plants to grow in (crossing fingers!). So here's a top view of the mini-bog. The gravel is piled up in the center rear so the plants which require it can keep their crowns out of the water.

I also finished trimming up the excess liner around the sides of the ceder boards. There's not a whole lot I can do to make the rubber in front of the barrels look any better, except grow a lot of plants to cover it up.

[img]http://www.sourpuss.net/projects/pond/2012/2012-07-23/.show/img_7012.jpg[/img] The plants are fairly trampled, but still trying to come back. They might fill back in some this year, but by next Summer you won't be able to tell anything ever happened. Now I need to start collecting some plants for the bog, and some vines like clematis to grow up over the barrels (to hide them) and trail down the waterfall. It shouldn't take too much effort to finish hiding the barrels behind lots of plants. And finally, a shot of the whole pond... somewhere behind the plants... I think...
