how safe are they round veg?

I want to be as organic as possible but the buggers are just
everywhere.

We never use slug pellets in our organic system. We encourage plenty of
wildlife to our garden including slug predators such as birds, frogs,
hedgehogs etc. We still have a resident population of slugs, but they
are not enough to cause any particular problems. If we do find a plant
being attacked, we cut lengths of bramble and layer those round it to
deter the slugs. It works for us.
