I wanted to share a couple pics of my newly completed bog bench [click either image to enlarge] :
The main bench is about 4 x 16 feet, with the growing area being about 2 x 10. The planter bog is lined with EPDM pond liner and is about 9 inches deep. (In retrospect about 7 deep would have been better.) Wood materials are ipe hardwood.
Currently the bog is hosting many of my sarracenias and a few droseras (plus the usual tagalong utricularias). So far the plants seem content...
