    Can you not make a way that they can get in and out?  We've cut a small hole in the bottom of the fence in a corner behind a rose bush - hedgehogs found it almost immediately and come in and out of our garden every evening, meeting up with one that lives here.image 

    But maybe not - dog may love spikey friend but Spike may not love over friendly dog - ex MIL's rather horrid dog used to ........... do unspeakeable things to hedgehogs image

    Maybe nematodes are a better bet image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • On fleabay you can buy electric tape on the cheap (its copper tape connected to a battery - slugs and snails hate it).  Only any good if you've emptied your bed of the slimey thieves first mind you.

  • If you put this number in the ebay search you'll see what i mean:

    110843698044

    I'm not the vendor btw or related to them an any way, it's something I have on my watch list and keep meaning to buy.

  • 9ft square and 30" tall. Please I know that's way too tall but I wanted on on some concrete at the back of my house and my partner said he would do it for my birthday, low and behold....

     

    i said why so tall, he said because I will need depth for root veg. No idea how big the carrots were when he grew up!!

  • Some of my carrots are over 2' long!
