One concern that I would have about experimenting in containers would be 
whether or not there was a sufficient starter population of all the necessary wee 
beasties to really populate the charcoal. If they are not present then I think 
the charcoal becomes rather moot. So one would want a medium that contained a 
full spectrum of the appropriate bacteria and fungi to combine with the 
charcoal, and a few worms wouldn't hurt :-)>
