there is nothing complicated at all.. just get plants that will live in the filter.
they do need quite a bit of sun, but for a start water celery will grow anywhere. I
was advised to use different plants as they each pull out different things.

there is one roll of filtering material in the first part of the veggie filter, it
and the whole filter gets cleaned in fall when I take most of the plants in. the
water celery is not taken in. I start a new bunch each year. it grows like crazy.
it is the big green batch in the lower right picture. Ingrid

I tried a veggie filter before this and I just wasted a bunch of money
on plants that died. I'm not saying veggie filters don't work but I
think it's more complicated than what people say.
