Default Pond snails

Hello,

My last pond question! Our pond is full of snails. I think that snails
can reproduce on their own, which is why there are so many. Should I
live and let live or do I need to have a snail cull? Presumably they
will not leave the water and are not a threat to the rest of the
garden?

Thanks.


Where can you buy snails. I have looked around but haven't found any
locally. Must admit I haven't been that determined



We started our pond off with some from Paul Bromfield Aquatics:

Their site doesn't seem as user-friendly as it used to be, but just put
snails in their search box. We have lots now!
