Default Slugs and potatoes?

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

Grow the potatoes in barrels, or some similar container(s) and protect the
container(s) from the slug attacks. If you need further info just ask, but
this method has the advantages of being easy to earth up, having larger
pest/disease-free crops and easier, more efficient harvesting. If you need
reasons why I'd be happy to explain, but trust me and it will give you better
results.
