From Seattle, also a paradise for slugs, various strategies:
Main border of slug resistant plants (look at nearby neglected gardens to see what survives) , extra pruning and arrangement to use their shapes gracefully, *and* showy slug-fragile plants in a pot on a pedestal ringed with defences.
Check for slug refuges close by - woodpile, dilapidated fence… also refuges for other kinds of wildlife, so it’s a balance

The most splintery dry woody mulch you can find, restrewn as it softens (cheaper than calcium, less effective) You probably don’t have room, but some ducks will eat a lot of slugs We don’t have hedgehogs, but I hear they eat slugs??? @Troggie@beige.party
