Lately I've been trying to figure out how to conserve and reuse water. Our grey water (all water accept the kitchen and toilets) has been plumbed to drain out on top of the ground. This bothers me greatly, which is why I decided to build a DIY Grey Water/Reed Bed system.

In this video I show you how I built the grey water system using a single 55 gallon plastic barrel, a rejected Werner Ladder ladder rail, some old 100% silicone, and PVC from a previous DIY project.

Additionally, I plan on using the same water (after exiting the reed bed), to water the wicking beds (now being converted to flowthrough), and to continue out of the wicking beds and into a nonconventional garden planted in GardenSoxx (see explanation here http://goo.gl/5FCr8u).

My question: What type of plants would you recommend planting in this reed bed? We'll be planting and connecting this system in part 2.
