Extractions: Weird Wetland Cool, still air, water the color of dried blood, and ground that trembles beneath your feet make the bog seem an eerie place. Sphagnum moss grows out from the edge of the bog in tangled mats strong enough to support trees, shrubs, and even people...barely. Jump up and down on a quaking bog and trees 25 feet away bounce along with you. Jump too hard and your leg may plunge through into the brown water below. The spongy sphagnum moss soaks up warmth, oxygen, and rain water and keeps them from reaching the bog below. Sphagnum is so absorbent it was used as diapirs by the Indians and for bandages in battlefield hospitals in World War I. When shagnum dies and decays, it makes the water in the bog as acid as orange juice. A bog can support snapping turtles, frogs, insects, and birds such as wood warblers and swamp sparrows, but few fish can live where oxygen is in such short supply. Snowshoe hares, beavers, muskrats, and bog lemmings are some of the mammals that come to nibble on the wetland plants. A strange mix of plants thrive in the bog. Cranberries and blueberries from the arctic tundra grow next to orchids and insect-eating plants from the tropical rain forest. Carniverous plants get nitrogen from insects that they can't get from the nutrient-poor bog. The sticky red hairs of the small sundew hold, then fold over an insect's body and slowly digest it. Insects slide down the slippery hairs of the pitcher plant into a cup filled with rain water and digestive juices.

Extractions: A bog garden can be a beautiful and exciting way to display your plants and landscape your home. Many variations exist in design and construction; this guide explains a simple method used by Botanique Nursery. Site Selection Preparing the Bog (see image below) 1. Dig the outlined bog to a depth of 12-14 inches, removing soil to form a basin. The bottom should be mostly flat, level or slightly pitched. The sides should go mostly straight down. 2. If moles or tunneling rodents are a problem in your area, line the basin with galvanized hardware cloth, screening, or heavy, woven weed cloth/barrier. Use rot/rust resistant materials. 3. Line the bottom and sides of the basin with 4-6 mil plastic sheeting (on top of any mole/ rodent protection.) Leave plenty of excess plastic along the edges; it can be trimmed away after the bog is filled and settled. Cut several ten-inch slits in the liner base, every foot or so. This will allow the bog to drain, while the liner holds most of the moisture in the bog. 4. Add 2-3 inches of moist sand to the bottom. Coarse sands are good to use. Do not use beach sand!
