Encouraging slug and snail predators into the garden.In last week's podcast, I spoke of how I deal with slugs and snails. My conclusion was that the best method that I found worked for me was encouraging wildlife into the garden. In this podcast, I talk about how I do this easily and simply.

Hedgehogs and birds are great for controlling slug and snail population along with many other forms of wildlife.In this episode, I mention a couple of websites as follows


RSPB website for creating wildlife-friendly gardens.Hedgehog Street. An organisation promoting hedgehogs.


I also mention about some hedgehog food that I use to leave out for hedgehogs to eat. The type I use can be bought from Amazon by clicking the image below.How do you encourage wildlife into your garden? let me know in the comments .
