Default small worms in potatoes

We have a constant problem with slugs both on the previous allotment and the
new one.
Tried Nematodes, rather expensive and no discernable difference to other
years, they need the ground kept nice and moist which can be difficult here
some summers. Cheaper to buy organic spuds ready grown.


Is the keeping the ground moist problem due to a hosepipe ban for you, Bob?
I ask because, otherwise, those wishing to use nematodes might not have that
problem. It's not just the potatoes, though, it's the other goodies slugs
just lurve.
