Boggy

Groningen used to be very boggy.

The edge of the woods led out onto a noisome, boggy fen, a paradise for mosquitos and small frogs.

Offer a bulky and boggy bun to the suspected individual just ten minutes before dinner. If this is eagerly accepted and devoured, the fact of youth is established.

But the might-have-been is but boggy ground to build on.

As well as being a magnet for wildlife, Flow Country is also special for its valuable role in mitigating climate change, as the boggy ground provides a huge natural sink for carbon dioxide.
