I'm all for scruffy gardens, they support insects and animal life so much better than areas that are over zealously tidied.<br />I am very jealous of your hedgehog as I've not seen one in my garden for many years.

Thought the hedgehogs were still eating it then, but weren't sure, which is when we bought the trail camera (Apeman HSS) and discovered it was very fat mice. But the hedgehogs have now clearly woken up.
