    The tops of the U Bend stick above the soil so we can syphon any excess water if needs be. These holes are then covered when not in use.

    Mike would it be ok to put Moss in there that grows on boggy mountains on the floor?? Or do I buy Moss? ? Although.. Some people have said don't use Moss due to impaction? !! This Moss seems to blanket the mountain so it would probably be in big long pieces :confused:
