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)

But what to do if you get wire worm ? We usually plant out at least a
stone of seed potatoes and I can't envisage that fitting in barrels
;-)

Nematodes for the slugs. Don't know if it works on wireworm but it's worth
researching.
