Talking about potatoes, how the hell can you stop the slugs getting at
the tubers, but nothing expensive!

As I've said many times before... choose a slug resistant variety, that's
the cheapest and most effective method.
Kestral (SE) is well known for it's slug resistance and is a good spud and
keeps longer than you expect.
It's offspring Spey (MC) is also good and very similar, although can get
spraing.
Romano (EMC) red is a nice spud too and keeps well.
There are others.

Thanks, must try to remember those varieties, but will I be able to just buy
8 of each, or will I have to buy a huge bag full?
