We have a four acre pond in front of our house. Its main use is irrigation water for 2 of our many pivots on our farm. We have water almost constantly flowing in on the upper end and flowing out on the lower end. Our pond is surrounded by various trees, native plants, and is a fantastic ecosystem. We literally have 1000s, if not possibly tens of thousands of dragonflies and damselflies. No mosquitoes! We also have hundreds of different birds, some of which live here year round and others are migratory. I have a wildflower patch which is about 2 acres, so we are loaded with pollinators as well.
