Yeah, I've got two ponds, and one of them is like this. I've used a plastic trug for it with bricks in to make it shallower. Unfortunately all the plants died in mine thanks to last year's drought so it is just a bare container of water right now. It is absolutely PACKED with mosquitoes but I'm ok with that because they will all be dead soon, once the linked treatment kicks in (which is quickly).

The mosquito’s that will no doubt start to live in our pond will become food for the bats and birds, which is exactly why we dug the pond in the first place. Won’t be trying to kill them in other ways.

Cheers and the mozi killer is good to know about. My OH is allergic to them, so it's not a great idea to breed them next to where we're going to sit.
I'm not fussed about fish, as I wouldn't want to fuck around with feeding or keep them in something so small.

Has anyone ever made one of these pot pond things?
My OH is prang about having any sort of pond or water in the garden due to drowning, but I'd love water somewhere.
Also does anyone know what the shallowest you could have a pond is, and will it just get infested with mosquitos?
