You're going to have a lot of fun! When I started out I wanted to try out every component I could get my hands on and ended up spending "hundreds of dollars" (LOL: As if that's a lot of money compared to most other hobbies).
So it sounds like you've got everything you "need" so I'm going to tell you what you definitely don't need... But could have a lot of fun with:
Have fun!
Edit: I almost forgot one of my favorite toys: The 8x8 LED matrix! You definitely don't need a 10-pack of red 8x8 LED matrices for $10. Nope!
Just gotta say, as a gastropod fan I appreciate you not wanting to hurt the slugs. Most people don't give a crap and it makes me sad.
That said I've heard that they don't like crawling over copper, so maybe you could try encircling the garden with copper tape? edit - Like this
Ya, np. I can tell you, I got all my materials from Amazon. The guide will mention copper conductive tape, most commonly associated with guitar repair. However, if you order this "guitar repair" tape it's marked up. I used Slug Tape and it works just fine for a lot less money.
In fact here's the rest of the mats:
Pre Back
Touchstone
Wall adapter -- though any should work fine I just didn't have spares and it's <$5
Soldering Iron -- I didn't have one
Guitar Picks if you lack enough -- I used about 6-8 popping the bezel
If you don't already have extended battery and cover
The only thing I didn't buy off Amazon were the magnets. I picked mine up from K&J Magnetics. Go for any of the disc type that are 1/32" thick. I think I got a pack of ten for a little over a dollar, and I believe each is rated for about 0.4lbs of force, more than enough.
It took me about 2 hours to finish the project, but read through the whole thing first, don't just wing it, and make sure you're comortable with popping the glass out of the bezel and soldering on your device. For what's it's worth this was the first time I've ever soldered, and it went better than expected. I practiced making little weld dolops for about 5 minutes before I trusted myself on the back of the device. Good luck!
I used this stuff. Didn't work worth a damn for me.
Copper banding on the stem might fix it - or the cheaper option of Garlic Tea.

Don't panic - Botrytis have far smaller mouths and don't leave big chunks missing. ;-)
That's an awesome setup. Just a suggestion for something simpler, though maybe not as effective, is using copper tape. https://www.amazon.com/Corrys-Slug-Snail-Copper-Barrier/dp/B000QD3BPW
Could at least be a helpful backup for when the battery dies.
