    The best thing is to go for plants that they don't like so anything with highly scented leaves like lavender and rosemary is good.

    In fact there is a list here - http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/features/slug-proof-plants/

    And yes slugs and snails like tomato leaves.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Sorry to off-topic but compost heaps are a good place for hedgehogs. Get one (or more) every year in my mum's garden, always under the compost heap where it's warm. Net result - no slugs and good composting stuff.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
