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.

Our soil is clay/silty loam and our whole maincrop was next to useless due
to slug damage this year, it's getting worse each year I'm sure.

However our Second Earlies "Kestral" which are said to be slug resistant
were almost untouched as they are every year. They do store OK too. Nice
spud.
Another one bred from Kestral is "Osprey" which may be worth a try if you
can't get the original.

There are a couple of new Maincrop varieties said to be slug resistant too
but I've lost the names at the moment, take a look in the catalogues.
We tried "Stemster" which is said to be slug resistant but suffered bad slug
damage, although they grew well in our clay.
