Putting something coppery or scratchy in their path is one way to keep slugs from crossing into the garden. Slugs apparently receive the equivalent of electric shocks from contact with copper, and their insides and outsides will dry from contact with salt or tear from interactions with diatomaceous earth or sand.

Table salt !... Simply 'draw' a line along the edges of the path with table salt. It will stop the slugs (and snails) crawling over your pathway. You will have to replenish it every time it rains though.

Many people use a salt ring around the plant, or commercial snail/slug repellent.
