Water comes from the roof of their house.

Water from the moat is used to water the plants. Excess water to the
plants goes back to the moat.

Mosquito larva seems to not be too much of a problem.

Mosquitos are a huge problem for all pets (heartworms/fatal) and the reason the makers of HartGuard are so rich and the product is so expensive...

Good video idea: address disease problems resulting from uncontrolled mosquito problems on a homestead. People who live rural often can't do without dogs such as Great Pyrenees, Border Collies and other useful breeds of herders and guard dogs; for me they are essential and they have to have HartGuard monthly - it takes only one bite from an infected mosquito to give them this terminal disease + also they can get Lyme Disease from ticks too, another good video idea of great use to homesteaders.

Have you looked into uploading your videos to Vimeo, a really nice site
and a lot of fun?

Mud daubers, dragon flies, duckweed, cattail, wapato ... a possible duck
habitat.

I am going to give this on a serious watch.

Please forward to folks that might be interested in this sort of thing.
Thanks!
