Dear lazyweb: can you tell me where do I find the published papers he talks explaining more precisely the plants and proportions needed?

Kamal expands it a bit at:

http://greenspaces.in/blog/ted09/

but any more info is welcome. For instance, some blog I just scanned was talking about one of those plants being bad for cats, I have a dog so I would like to know the reasoning (the pros and cons) on plant selection, on a expanded view.

Well you got the gist of it, comments welcome
