I believe nematodes can be a very effective way of control slugs
(previous posts largely agree).
how about increasing habitats for slug/snail egg devouring ground
beetles eg small peices of slate scattered over the bed ?
That unfortunately also increases the slug/snail sheltering and egg
laying areas ;-)
also consider growing plants not susceptable to slug/snail damage ?
That is a bit limiting. It means not sowing anything straight into the
ground (since the young seedlings of almost anything are susceptible),
and cuts out a large proportion of vegetables.
It's what I do, though.
