That's what I was thinking too. I was wondering if anyone else
had tried an "unprotected" bog. I'd prefer to use as little peat
as possible, though. I'm not comfortable with supporting the peat
mining industry. I plan on using shredded pine needles to form
some of the non-sand matter in my homegrown bog. I have no idea
how this will work out, but the pine needles will acidify the
area if nothing else. We've had conversations before on this list
about substitutes for peat and no one seems to have come up with
one unfortunately.
