Paul et al,

I put the plants where they want to go, with an eye to growth habits 
and aesthetic appeal, of course...

And certainly a greywater wetland can be safe to grow plants in- as 
long as you know and can control what is going down your drain ( 
biodegradeable soaps and organic nutrients from our kitchen sink, in 
this case).

I am pleased to grow the most flavorful celery that I have ever tasted...
