nice design. what they call leca is porous clay marbles sold at hydroponics stores. i don't see the point of it except to keep the floor fabric from collapsing. i also think if the water gets low it might not wick enough. they're kind of pricey too.
otherwise, that is the basic earthbox design, which can be scaled up or down as much as you want.
