Great story, fredrump - but have to agree with snapple - you're making me SOOOO envious - and snapple, I'm very interested in the bog/lotus idea. I haven't tried a lotus yet, but have an 8 x 10 bog that I need to refurbish. I was going to use it as a natural bog filter, but it didn't move enough water (or work) so it has been ignored for 2 years now. Would love to work through the project together. I can get some hardy lotus here, but need an area where the water is mostly still - right? Would this area work do you think? It's a foot and a half of gravel covered by organic material (leaves, etc.) covered by pebbles/sand/rock. It's lined and so holds the water, and I originally had a 300 gph pump slowly moving the water through and returning to the pond. Will that work?
