PoshPikey 560 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 copper ribbon around your veg plot, a line of salt or you can buy absorbent gravel. In the end I made my veg plot impassable to hedgehogs and use pellets - they are the only really efective method. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
