HIH - have you tried growing the greens in pots on a raised deck? We are trying this with copper wrapped around the pot numerous times - actually made the pot look very artistic! LOL...
The slugs do not seem to come up on our deck that is about 4 ft off the ground and the copper is the second safeguard.
But yes, I can totally understand your squeamishness on raw greens. My SO only will eat "white bread" lettuce (aka head lettuce) grown on the west coast because of the slugs.
