    Hi all Gardeners,
    For the last few years I have a problem with slugs eating my potatoes in the ground . I picked one lot today and I found that a lot of the potatoes have holes in them . Is there any prevention method that I could use to stop this,
    Regards

    It's for farmers but even the small gardener can take some helpful tips from it.
