permaculture

["Charles de Matas" <cdematas@hotmail.com>]

All of the permaculturists I visited since I took the PDC earlier this year 
have ponds (large and small) and they've told me that the fish they keep 
help to control mosquitoes.  I am thinking of putting in a few tub ponds 
around my house to keep guppies.  Before I do this I want to check with my 
learned friends on this list if they have had good results at controlling 
mosquitoes with fish like guppies, or mosquito fish (gambusia, which are 
more common in the southern US)?  If this is really effective it would make 
life much more comfortable for me here in the tropics.
