I am fed up with my main crop (and second earlies come to think of it) spuds
getting riddled with worm holes. What varieties have people grown that seem
more slug resistant? My soil is sandy clay loam.


For what it's worth, Foremost aren't! ( Heavy clay soil ).

I found that bunging in LOTS of organic matter seems to help... maybe
it provides the slugs with tastier pickings?
