• All these bog gardens - how do you deal with / avoid mosquitoes?

  • As my OH is allergic, if this becomes a problem I will get rid of it.

    Tbh this has always been a concern of mine with ponds. But have a memory that a pump to move the water will get rid of this.

    Part of the rational for me is to see if there's a way I can harness the solid clay a foot beneath our garden, and create something that has a bit of a wildlife pond vibe within the constraints of not being allowed a pond.

    This is my current moodboard from my initial shortlist. But right now I'm having a bit of a mental block with how to arrange it.

    Also filled most of it in late last night a couple of bags of compost should fill the rest.
