Slug pubs now in place, let's just hoe they work, I only got cheap lager and it's not very strong so may have to get some more.
I don't seem to have many slugs this year though (touch wood) and have spotted 3 or 4 froglets or toadlets (I never could tell the difference) in the garden at night, so I think they may be helping me
Of course they are, I have a Jack Russell and a friendly cat alive and well, also a female hedgehog lives under the shed, though no young so far this year!
Along my back fence which is covered in ivy, the robin reared a nest this year again and the blackbirds have started building a third nest for their next brood, a pair of dunnocks and a pair of wrens also have nests but I cannot find them, if pellets were that bad they would all be dead!
As we also feed the birds, we are visited by loads of sparrows, goldies,blue and long tailed tits, a crow, sparrows and wood pigeons, the only ones the dog chases!
Unfortunately also a sparrow hawk, but the cat never bothers either with the birds or the nests, even when the young blackbirds are making a racket!
