Hi Mitch,
I have a booklet on it around here somewhere.  If I can locate it I'll see if I can't find the sizing specifications that are in it.

The EXPLANATION was over-simplistic, not the system.  I've heard of it, I've googled it, I've seen pictures.  What I HAVE NOT seen is an explanation of how it's done.  How does one determine the size, materials, plants?  The plants must grow, so how do you harvest them, and what do you do with them?  The growth medium must need to be of a certain type and size to prevent clogging, and I imagine that some combinations of "rock" and plants work better than others.  Surely, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well, but I'd rather not have to invent this thing all by myself, when it has already been done successfully.
