Subject: Making a cp bog

I received an email from someone asking for more details about the
bog/water garden at Meadowview Biological , and I accidentally
deleted the message when I meant to reply to it! So I apologize to
whoever it was, and ask that you email me again so I can remember
who you were. Meanwhile, I emailed Phil Sheridan for more details
about the bog, and this is what he told me:

Hi Susan:
I would like to have the bog garden pond on the website with
description but it will be a couple months. We use a pump in the pond
that pumps water up to the gravel biological filter. Water then
cascades over rocks through stream and irrigates adjacent sand seep
by bottom watering. From here water drains into pond and is
recirculated into biofilter. The whole apparatus is underlain by liner
and covers contours. Hope this helps. You can extract from this and
post. Ideally use some of the pictures you took.
Best,
Phil

(I don't have any pictures developed yet, and don't have a scanner
yet, but I'll see what I can do! - Susan)
