Default Bog garden

I am planning on setting up a bog garden this summer and have a question
in ref. to liners. After doing some reading I noticed that some people
recommend digging the whole and lining it up with a cheap liner, then
making holes in the bottom for slow drainage. I plan on eventually
building a pond for fish alongside the bog garden. The bog garden I
plan to use as a filter. Size of bog ~10'W x 20'L x 18"D


Thank you in advance for any assistance.

dont poke holes I have an 25x30x12 bog in the summer i pump water
through it no piping like you described, just dump it in at the far end
then it flows back through the plants to the Koi pond.
during the winter all pumps are shut off and it just sits there and
freezes comes back every spring and does not putryfy
