Reed Beds
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 9:08 pm
We were thinking of having a reed bed filtration system to manage our waste water. We know that it is the rhizomes on the roots that do the deed as it were, but would we have to stop using detergents and other cleaning products in order to not kill them off? Come to think of it, how big would it need to be and and siting requirements too? We assume there will be some sort of ratio, or formula relating to output service and surface run off areas. Anyone got any experience or ideas?
