I know what you mean by the rock necklace.

When we put our last pond in, DH wanted to put rocks on edge so that the shelf was now closed off for the most part by the rock. Then we put rinsed pea gravel into this shelving and planted things into the pea gravel. We have a small pump that runs through the larger of the bogs and this goes a long way to keeping the water clean.

The first picture was taken the middle of March last year. The second picture is of the same bog and was taken in the middle of July of last year. In the late fall the plants get cut back so they don't fall into the water and rot.
