I found manuring the bed before planting spuds seemed to attract slugs, I used to loose at least half the crop. Now I add compost/muck for other crops in the rotation and add only BFB when planting potatoes. Have hardly any slug damage now. Last year apart from first earlies I grew Kestrel, Charlotte, Sarpo Axona and Sarpo Kifli.Location ... Nottingham

My dear auld Dad, gawd bless his soul, struggled with a keel slug problem all his life! He even resorted to watering the rows with ***** fluid before planting and putting napthalene(mothballs) in the rows.
And still the slugs kept coming, with my poor auld Mother having to cut the bad bits away!My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
Diversify & prosper
