The All Year Round Hedgehog!

Hedgehogs are great allies for gardeners and are very beneficial to have in your garden for several key reasons

The most significant benefit is their role as natural pest controllers. Hedgehogs are nocturnal foragers, and their diet consists of many common garden nuisances, including:

•         Slugs and Snails: They are particularly helpful in controlling the population of these pests that can severely damage young plants and vegetables.

•           Caterpillars

•           Beetles and Weevils

•           Earwigs and Millipedes

By consuming these pests, hedgehogs help maintain plant health and reduce or eliminate the need for chemical pesticides and slug pellets, which is better for the overall ecosystem.

As they forage by snuffling and digging through the soil for their food, their activity also helps to aerate the soil. Their droppings also act as a natural fertiliser, enriching the soil and promoting a healthier environment for your plants.

The presence of hedgehogs is often considered a sign of a healthy, balanced, and chemical-free garden ecosystem. They are a valuable part of the local wildlife network and contribute to biodiversity.

It is sadly, increasingly rare to see a Hedgehog in our gardens these days.

However, thanks to John’s great design skills, you can have your own Hedgehog every day of the year!
