The slug fence seems to work pretty well to cut down on the numbers of
slugs to be poisoned, salted, or otherwise disposed of.  It is a metal
fence shaped like this (about 6" high):

                      ____
		      |  |   this side toward garden
                         |
                       __|____  <--  ground level
                         |

It works on the principle that the slugs can't climb it and get around the
down-wards-facing lip.
