I'm new to it all.....

Bran makes a good slug barrier - it came out tops in a GYO test last year - though you do have to replace it regularly. I did something similar with wood shavings (small animal bedding from Tesco), as I didn't have access to bran when I needed it, and it kept the slugs and snails off my brassicas a treat. They don't like crawling over dry absorbant surfaces, and if they try to eat it they swell up and die (but are non-poisonous to wildlife) - all round good stuff!

Thanks! That sounds easy enough to me!

other things for the anti slug arsenal are the rings of 1 & 2ps the bit of copper on the coins acts as a barrier, bran is great i used it last year to keep the evil mollusc off me salads but it does tend to get washed away in the rain

Manure for the tatties, i had one bed for potatoes last year which was well manured but i had a few left over and shoved them in another bed which had no manure the yields were much better off the manure bed.....
