  1. Hi, I hope you can still read and give an answer to a few of my questions. First of all, thank you for sharing your knowledge on DIY ponds. It was really nice and I commend you for your determination. I am a teacher and would like to build a pond in our school courtyard. I would like to ask: How do we maintain the water from mosquito larva? Do you put some chemicals into the water? Is it necessary to put a water pump? What type of fish and water plant would be the best to put into the water? Thank you for your time. Looking forward to your response.
