Hi All,
I have at least 4 frogs in one greenhouse and one in the other. Is this good (slug/snail removal), bad (they eat veg as well) or neither?
There's only a very small amount of slug damage and only on some fancy radishes I've got going in an old mushroom tub.
It was quite worrying at first when all I could see was the carrot foliage moving in a jerky fashion.
Thoughts welcome!

When I saw the title of this one I was expecting something along the lines of the recent news items regarding the influx of foreign fruit pickers to the country!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
We've got loads and loads of frogs in our garden. Also loads and loads and loads of snails....picked 72 off my humungous hostas the other night....so which came first - the hosta, the snail or the frog?
Answer, I suspect, is that frogs don't really eat snails, maybe the odd slug, but mostly insects I think. I believe you need toads for snails.
Pretty sure that neither eat veg!
I'm thinking of tethering a few froggies next to my flea-beetled rocket as the fleece doesn't seem to be working
