Never heard of this method.
(And I'd hate to fish out what's left after
the filter got going...!)
I've heard everything from tossing in a
hand full of dirt, to using water from
another person's pond to using commercial
products.

I'll let the filter folks give some other
suggestions which are probably more
workable than mine ;-)
