>Has enybody experence with heating an artifical bog?

The easiest way is to cover the sensitive part of the bog in cold nights by
white styropor foam boards ('sagex') which must be weighted down by some
stone bricks to avoid their removing by wind blasts (thickness at least 5
cm, usual size in Europe 100x50 cm, available in Do-it-yourself centers).
As soon as temperature is above the freezing point the boards should be
removed to avoid fungus infection.
