Hello Bobs Mum, this may sound rather mad but for a couple of years now I have fed my slugs and snails … They love sliced cucumber and I also fed them with snail food… They hardly ever went near my plants and having devoured the food had slinked away by morning… I believe I attracted a hedgehog due to the amount of slugs and snails I had… I put out the giant snail food mixed into a bowl for the snails and that is when I had my suspicions… As the bowls were lick clean which I thought was odd .. Could something else be eating this food?
Then one night as I was checking the snails food, I spotted a very large hog…I was so chuffed, needless to say the numbers of slugs and snails are down now… I attracted the hedgehogs into my garden by attracting their natural food source… Win, win 🙂
