colleauges:

it's been over a month since i installed my kiddie pool bog. the pool is around 4-6" below the soil surface.

the ground around the outline of the kiddie pool has remained damp, but since it's been so rainy in the ne this summer I'm unsure what will happen to that area next year of our normal seasonal drought hits in july and august.

will the buried kiddie pool keep the soil somewhat around it damp as well? i'd like to plant some joe pye weed but it couldn't handle the totally water logged soil in the kiddie pool itself.

thanks for your wisdom
