    Hi does anybody know of any plants that I could plant in or around the pond to keep the blighters away. As I love to just sit or stand by the pond and watch the antics of the fish but end up scratching the lumps and bumps from the bites for ages afterwards.

    Tell me if you find one - we have river as well as pond!

    Citronella oil is reasonable repellant though, I wonder if a lemon scented plant would do the trick?
