Hey, soferdig - haven't heard from you for quite awhile! Hope all is well, and am getting ready to start on the woodland - planted 20 various shrubs and understory trees last fall, and will prune the canopy trees come March - LOVE IT!

Anyway, I did exactly as Jeri and you offered for my bog and the plants are doing well -

Layered - liner (2 foot deep), 6 inches of sand, 6 inches of decaying leaves and woodland debris, 3 inches of sand blended with more leaves and debris, and topped with river rock of various sizes, no larger than 4 inches in diameter. Here's a pic from a couple of summers ago when it was just completed so the plants aren't there yet -
