Step 4Plants!
Now it's time to get some plants.
My plan was to use plants that like to be wet pretty much all the time. I have plenty of marsh plants in my area, including my front and side yard, so I just grabbed a shovel and some buckets.
You might want to visit a gardening center that carries pond and wetland plants and see what they have available.
I dug up some marsh grass and cat-tails. The marsh grass has an AMAZINGLY thick mass of roots, which should work well for filtering.
Place the plants in the tub, and fill in around the edges with a little extra dirt. I also added a few other little plants around in there.
