IMO I can't have a bog either as I don't think it will fit in the way my pond is laid out. My body says no to digging one anyways and so someone else would have to do it for me. I don't think I have enough good sucking plants in my pond and need more. Will have to work on that. I like using the Sedge type ones as they are supposed to be good at sucking up the excess nutrients. Had to take my big one out tho as it was too big and pushing out of it's pot. Will have to try another kind that does not grow so huge as the Sweet Flag. That stuff takes over! Must be another type that is not as fast growing?
