Have everyone march all over on the bog, packing it in. Water should be coming to the surface where you step. After the entire bog has been packed down, get out of the bog, lean over and smooth the surface with your hands so that it is even again. Securing the Liner Line the bog all around the upper lip with sand. No liner should be exposed to the sun.
Sunlight breaks down the rubber rapidly.
Lay stones or logs around the top of the bog on this sandy edge. This will hold the liner down and will define a boundary for the bog so people won't walk in it. Rocks and logs also give people a place to kneel or sit near the bog. You can cut any long pieces sticking out beyond the rocks with scissors. Watering the Bog Cut a six foot length of soaker hose.
