Paper Summary:

This paper examines the viability of growing produce like tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers in an bog environment. It looks at the characteristics of bogs and suggests that although the land would be very inexpensive, the habitat alterations would be prohibitively expensive.

From the Paper:

"There is a great deal of interest in developing land use strategies to better utilize natural resources. One area that is being considered is bog management. In particular the possibility of using bogs as agricultural sites. In order to begin to understand the issues involved in bog agriculture it is necessary to understand what a bog is. A bog is defined as, "An aquatic system characterized by the presence of sphagnum moss, high acidity, and often no water outlet" (Krohne 704). From this definition it can be seen why bogs are often of little commercial value. "
