I think we have more slugs and snails simply because we have wetter weather than most of France  :dry:

I've got thrushes, slow worms, hedgehogs and frogs - but still have lots of slugs and snails in my garden  :(

Hedgehogs do a good job of keeping slugs away, apparently they can eat dozens in a single night!  :tongue2:

I have a hedgehog that comes into my garden every night by squeezing under the side gate. It goes all the way along my fence where the strawberry bed is, before squeezing under the fence a little further along into next doors garden. I have no problem with slugs in my strawberry's, but I do have in another parts of the garden where the hedgehog doesn't go...
There is not necessarily anything wrong with doing things that are profitable. It is when "profit" becomes the dominant motive that the cycle of disaster begins.

I think hedgehogs are picky! I've seen them walk straight past slugs without so much as a sniff  >:(
