If you live in a dry area a salt ring will do it. Otherwise, there as tons of poisons you can lay around your patch.

Salt and eggs shells work very well.
Also, Copper products such as Slug tape are effective. I am linking to a non sponsor only because this is legal and none of our vendors stock such a product. http://www.amazon.com/Bosmere-Copper-Slug-Tape/dp/B007S15YI2

Lay diatomaceous earth around your patch. Just be careful not to breath it in. They sell it at feed stores or tractor supply. It works for slugs and insects with an exoskeleton.

Salt and eggshells are totally food safe. The only "chemical" is table salt. Copper is worth a try though. Worked for me....

I've had worms eat some of my outdoor stuff, not slugs, they had some kind of hair. When I pulled them out I wondered if the shock of the world suddenly became apparent to them.
