Wooden Mushrooms In The Forest!

[gordi]

I'm curious as to how they plan to rehydrate the bog lands. That has potential as a moat around my house - one where interlopers bury themselves!

Now THAT'S efficiency!

.

The forest had drainage furrows cut (or more likely ploughed?) in lines between where the trees were planted.

The bog restorers install water-barriers (Boards with hexagonal strengthening channels) at key points across these furrows. They act like little dams, backing up the water into small(ish) pools, which then seep back down into the peat below.

It's quite simple, but very clever. The key is identifying the best places to locate the water-barriers.
Over time, the heather and bog-plants return and grow higher than the actual barriers, so you don't even see them after a while.

cheers,
