I
found an idea for cascading strawberries using three pots in a magazine.
The author indicated that slugs would not be a problem. I
transplanted my strawberries into one raised bed and half barrow. I'm
wondering if slugs will be a problem in the raised beds?

My slugs must not have read that particular magazine--they are always a
problem 8-0.

Seriously, you may have slugs, you may have earwigs, you may have any number
of other plagues. Just keep your eyes open, and identify any pests you get
so you can find out how best to deal with them. I find that striving
towards a balanced mini-eco system, encouraging birds and predatory insects,
goes a long way towards eliminating problems. But since I keep a permanent
mulch on my vegetable beds, I do get slugs. Since I have discovered
"Sluggo", http://www.pestproducts.com/sluggo.htm, (no affiliation) I can
keep the damage under control.

Your projects sound great, have fun,
Sue
