I've seen several comments in this forum indicating that people have some provision in their bogs for back-flushing (cleaning) them.
I'm interested in building a bog for a new pond. I'm assuming that the bog will have water coming in at the bottom of the bog through PVC pipes with slots or holes in them, which will distribute the water into the bottom of the bog sort of uniformly. This "dirty" water would then flow upwards through the gravel and back to the pond via spillway.
Can someone explain to me how one "flushes" the accumulated waste out of such a bog?
Thanks
