Ooh, I'd forgot that stuff. It is good.
Throw in a couple of those little carnivorous plants you get in bogs and I'm sold.

We only get Drosera Rotundifola and Pinguicula Vulgaris (sundew & butterwort respectively) as natives here. Yo get a couple more in the UK - Drosera Anglica being one. I used to collect them as a teenager (sad fuck that I am ... erm ... was). I still love it when I come across a huge bed of them.

In County Cavan someone has intorduced pitcher plants (can't remember which one) and they've settled in very nicely (not sure I approve though - but they do look cool when you first see them).

Did you know that an ounce of sphagnum can hold a pint of fluid? Great for field dressings!
