Hello all,

I am desiging a garden at the moment and would love some clarification on
ponds.

I would love not to have a pump. From what I can gather, flowing water
inhibits mosquito larvae, and fish eat mosquito larvae. Do I need a pump to
have fish though? Would frogs and dragonflies be sufficient to control the
larvae and therefore construction of a frog pond sufficient?

I look forward to your response,

Peace,

James
