	The Sacred Lotus by Jack Wootton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A lotus bog is basically just a small pond, but instead of having to hunt around for a spot to stash all that excavated soil, you just dump the dirt back into the hole after the EPDM liner or pre-formed shell has been installed; assuming of course that the soil is a good, heavy loam.
		On the west coast, the lotus can be planted outside in late March, but remember to maintain that 2 inch to 4 inch layer of water in the bog in order to protect the lotus from late frosts.
		In all zones, if you are planning on growing a lotus as a containerized pond plant, it is normal procedure to delay the planting of the tuber until it is safe to have only a shallow layer of water over the plant when the pot is placed in the pond.
