Pond snails
Keep the snails, they wont harm plants or fish. They will keep algae
growth down and eat away at any weed attached to the liner etc wrote: 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. |

But if you have a natural pond near you collect a bucket of water then tip it into yours. chances are you will soon have some water snails, and maybe other things. ;-) |

For attractive snails try ebay. They are cheap and get sent through the post successfully. |
