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.

Put in a couple of toad houses. All you need is a small terracotta pot with
a hole cracked into the rim. Place it upside down on some old leaves or
grass clippings close to where the toads are bothering your seedlings.
Problem solved.

Lift the pots onto staging or shelves. Otherwise put them in poly-tunnels
K?

catch them at night by shining a flashlight into their eyes. chop off
the hind legs and saute in a small pan with butter. be sure to remove
skin before cooking.

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.

they are probably toads. provide houses like suggested and those toads are excellent
at controlling insects. elevate teh plants and seedlings or put them into a cold
frame. if they are still bothered could be something else making holes. around here
it is the tree rats and chippies burying stuff. Ingrid
