I have many young plants and seedling in potting mix. The frogs seem
to love the potting mix and just make it a bedding spot at night but
in the process they destroy the young plants. What is the best way to
control them.

Snakes. Animals that eat frogs for snacks include snakes, lizards,
birds, and various small animals like hedgehogs. Even under water frogs
cant be safe from hungry sharp toothed fish, swimming mammals like water
shrews, and even diving birds! As if that wasn't bad enough, frogs even
have to watch out for other hungry frogs!

It might be easier to put some screening over the seedlings or at least
around them.
