I inherited an acre of land. Half of it is bog. I want to use a good chunk of the land for food forest. My families original plan was to simply dig up the bog channel it into a stream (that goes down hill eventually reaching a pond) and fill the land in with gravel fill then they were saying I could ship in top soil if I wanted a garden, and would say have to dig a hole into the gravel and fill it with soil to say plant a tree. I live around boreal forest and the top soil layer is not very deep on it's own. I was just gonna build my soil though. In any case, have you guys got any ideas how I can use to bog to nurture a food forest, or channel a bog into a stream without relying on gravel fill. All advice appreciated, thanks
