Team reed bed is where a reed bed is part of an overall system , like the final polishing of water after passing through a sewage treatment plant, or an industrial process or an Anaerobic digester etc.
Reed bed basics can also become part of, or a whole, Raingarden. Raingardens are an important part of flood controls as well as enabling plants to survive dry conditions.
They can be used in shopping/office developments or in front of houses as a car park.
They provide a space, that when correctly made and planted, will offer real alternatives to paving blocks and tarmac coverings upon which to park the family car.
The successful Raingarden is dependant upon the most suitable plants for the area to ensure the best anchorage possible when in a thunderstorm, and the best chance of survival in a drought. It must be noted that not all plants will thrive in south west England and north west and Scotland.
