  • Toad Hall

    I have a small pile of damp rotting logs (rejects from winter fuel deliveries)

    I thought I could stack them by my raised beds in the hope of attracting a toad or two.

    Just wundered if this would be counter productive as a nice home for slugs and snails also

    I can see where your worries are but I have a couple of log piles on my lotties and they do work. If you dont have amphibians, at least you know where a chunk of your snail problem will be hiding.

      I agree - providing a habitat for toads and frogs is a great idea, and snails will find somewhere to hide whatever you do. Personally I find snails prefer smooth surfaces like the undersides of flowerpots, rather than rough bark.

      I tend to mix large stones and logs in together, just to give them a bit of variety and hopefully therefore encourage a variety of wildlife.

        and if you manage to attract some toads, they'll eat the slugs up for you!
        Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.

          Anyone got one of these? Always think they look fun, but are they a suitable toad habitat?

              The problem with the Toad House is you run the risk of upsetting the frog community who may not feel welcome.
