my whiskey barrel bog garden

[laxgoal]

i just made this whiskey barrel bog garden with my dad. I havent planted it yet because we ran out of sand so we need to go get some more to make the soil level higher.

oh and im thinking it would be cool to put some aquatic utrics in the water bucket

Wow. Neat. I like it. Plenty of space but it doesn't take up much room. What is the media type?

 

[laxgoal]

peat, sand, and perlite

i really want to eventually top it with live LFS does anyone know how to get live long fibered sphag to grow in a bog garden, let alone how to grow it?

very nice, i like it a lot as well, but aren't you afraid of the peat on the bottom rotting?

Just spread out the LFS and keep saturated & lit.
