Winter Weather Heavy Freeze
Zone 7b
Dimensions: 2.5 x 6ft + 5 gallon tub + a few smaller pots
Depth: nothing over 12 inches
Age of Bog: Third summer
Reason for Dimensions or depth: It's a multiple of the large plastic cement mixing tubs and designed so I can chnage out tubs if I need to without disturbing the whole thing.
Drainage: I drilled a few drainage holes near the top of the containers(between 1 and 2 inches feom edge) so standing water wouldn't cover crowns of plants
Soil Mix: I use a bit of haorticultural(or aquarium) charcola in the bottom half od the larger containers-don't know if it helps but it doesn't hurt.
CP Grown: Sarracenia only in the large bogs but I have smaller bogs for sun dews and fly traps
Non CP Growing calypogon, juncus, lobelia, osmunda regalis, Iris, arum
Comments: More captivating and much easier than orchids
