Hi..My name is Robin and I live in the country in Western NY. We have a drainage issue and plan to dig a good sized pond.
I am so excited to have a pond again, as we had a farm pond growing up. I was thrilled to find this site. While our pond will have a purpose I also want to make it pretty. I am going to plant only bog plants...no submerged or floating ones and we do not want fish in it. I actually plan to swim in it as well. My question is....what can we put in the water to keep the mosquito population at bay and to keep the water somewhat clear without harming the frogs, painted turtles, or plants. I am looking forward to reading many of the threads and getting some ideas. Thanks in advance
