The potatoes I dug up this year were badly damaged by slugs,
how can I reduce, or stop that damage in the future?

Seems very dependent on variety. And I'd guess different varieties
respond differently in different areas.

Last year, having acquired a much larger garden, we bought a potato
"variety pack" - about 10 different varities. Fascinating to compare how
they developed, resistance to pests, disease, drought, etc, taste and
productivity. A couple of varieties were badly damaged by slugs whereas
others were completely unscathed.

Taste also varied enormously - some simply wonderful and others almost
tasteless.

Unfortunately, names were written on tags with non-indelible marker -
so, we must repeat experiment again this year!
