One thing you can do is start your turnips 3 or 4 seeds per plug in
plug trays out of reach of slugs (Greenhouse, windowsill etc) Plant
them out after thorough hardening off when they are a bit tougher for
the snails - little or no space between plugs in the row, you'll lose
a few but you will get turnips and a clear conscience.
