Yes, I have been away, but only for lack of time. I do tend to hang out a bit more at GW, only because I started the bog garden forum there.

I used pond liner because It is more versatile than preformed liners and was at the time more accesible.

As far as size goes, make it as big as you can! The bigger it is the more stable the ecosystem will be and the less rainwatering you'll have to do.

Here is a picture of my latest back breaking project, a double pond with waterfall between, hope to have that done by the end of june, at which time I am dismantling moving and rebuilding a greenhouse that's been given to me. Fortunately someone else is doing the bulk of that work for me!

By the way Equilibrium, I got 100% germination on the Sarracenia seeds you sent!
