These creatures will show up on their own unless you're in a big city. Why
buy them? If you are in a big city what chance have the frogs or toads to
survive there? Snails seem to materialize out of thin air and some damage
plants.

I have a similar problem. I have a natural brook at the back of my
property, and I think it's too much competition for my pond. No matter how
many tadpoles/frogs I put in my pond, they disappear. But, fool that I am,
I keep trying!

I thought you put nematodes on your lawn. They feed on grubs .....
when the grubs are gone they die from starvation.

My nematode knowledge goes as far as...they like pine apple shaped houses
for dinner.

P.S. I expect only the parents in the group will understand what the hell I
am talking about.

Would Sponge Bob be good for scrubbing some gunk off the side of the pond?
Then he's be "Sponge Bob full of black slop and algae" or "Sponge Bob
Dirtypants." Would the kids like him then!?

What I want to know is how they come up with these characters? Who thought up
this character and why aren't they in therapy?
(My favorites are Ed, Edd and Eddie...)

I feel that we're on first name basis. In fact, if you
listen to Hollywood Squares theme songs it sounds like
they're saying Squarepants ;-) My DH thinks I've finally
gone over the edge.
