Hope I can get some advice. Slugs are eating my young plants, in particular
my "Shoo fly". I have been using blue slug pellets. I cannot use them
anymore as a hedgehog is eating the slugs during the night and I do not wish
to poison it.

My question is how can I stop slugs eating my plants or should I just put up
with damage as part of nature.
Thanks in advance

Last week I started putting orange peel in my garden.

Now at night when I shine my torch over the garden, all the slugs and
snails are eating the pith and leaving my plants alone.
