I have a salad vegetable and herb garden.

I'm wondering if I should:

* Attract birds - so they eat the slugs, snails and other nasties that
prey on my veggies;

Very few birds eat slugs - about the only garden bird is a starling.
A few more eat snails but they won't make a great impact on numbers.
