Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

I am in CT, so soon it would become an ice pond, Don't know what I would do with the fish when that time came, would hate to see them freeze, plus I really don't want to waste electricity running a pump to the pond, as already I have to run 4 air conditioners, and a pool pump, hate to tell you what my elec bill was last month...but thanks for the idea.

Great idea. I'll remember that when I build my pond!

Worked for us in the old days down in Florida. The mos are attracted to the water feature. The larva are consumed by the fish. Over a month or so the populations should decline.

My husband and brother are smokers, and mosquitos don't seem to bother them. I am not a smoker, and If I step out at night or early morning, they seem to flock to me. Sometimes even during the middle of the day, they are after me. I have tried that "Mosquito" plant, let me tell you, it doesn't work. I have tried the torches even with the "Mosquito" fuel,
