	   The only problem I've had so far is that the water barrel has
   become a mosquito nursery with no fish to eat the larvae.  Any
   suggestions?  Or should I just wait for cold nights to kill off the
   larvae?  Wendy

A little vegetable oil on the surface of the water will kill the larvae.
That is if you can do this with no harm to your plants.
