(Wikipedia is the most awesome creation!)

I have been inside the greenhouse on a road adjacent to the Burlington VT Sewage Treatment Plant where he had a grant to study the water. It was awesome to see the roots dangling into the water from the wire mesh screens holding them in place and to see the pure water in various stages after the plants absorbed the nutrients. The tropical looking plants were thriving. I was so impressed after reading his book (also the one on Bioneers) several years ago I started looking for grants which I knew were available for small innovative systems. This is not rocket science. You do not have to have a degree to understand age old principles of biology he promotes.
People have created ponds for a variety of purposes...mostly ornamental or for water conservation, and the key element here is that the tank or lined pond can't leak..how easy is that? Also, you cannot create a constructed wetland or man made- bog or marsh inside a real one. You can't pollute a natural marsh. "You have to keep them separated". Also, you shouldn't grow and eat spinach in the treatment water. Logical isn't it.
