Pest management, outdoors?

Will be my 1st real outdoor grow (non-greenhouse). I wanted to ask what all you guys use for post management and how often etc.... Any advice or regimens/schedules would greatly help me. Please share, and thank you!
 
Thank you!
Where I live (UK) the biggest problem for any young plant in the garden is slugs. I cut a piece of copper sheet and bend it into a circle. Put it around the stem of the plant and sink it into the ground an inch or so. It stops the slugs from getting to your precious plants. Apparently it gives them a mild shock so they go elsewhere to find something to nibble.

You need some ducks. You want to talk about slug smashers lol.
