Try nematodes before planting any veg. You have to use them a few weeks before you do any planting. They do work. I used to have Slug Alley along the fence line where I used to live and the slugs were always getting into the hutch (it was outside then). I used nematodes (which is a natural slug defence) and they didn't come back.
