Pea moth?

wellused

I was hoping to grow peas this year but have just heard a gardener say that they don't grow peas due to damage inflicted by the pea moth, is this pest a problem in your experience and does covering the plants in fleece have any advantage?

we grow peas on our allotment,we neither spray nor net.Some years they are virtually unaffected.The good thing is that you discover the little blighters when you pod them so our koi enjoy a tasty treat.while we never eat them
This year however the resident badger took out the whole row :(

I get it,much prefer growing mangetout then should be unaffected,

Hate finding the little things in pea pods when podding them, despite the extra protein available!!!

Some people do cover but tbh i can't be doing with the faff!

Grow in blocks, shove a cane with an upturned yogurt pot in each corner, throw a fleece over. No pea moth. Simples.
