    Purely by chance,some bark shavings from a closely growing silver birch have fallen on the patch where my peas are struggling and have noticed the slug trails avoiding them.So have stripped some more off the tree and wrapped them around the base of the pea plant and whaddya know no more slugs!.Have no idea why?
    Wonder if shavings in solution would have same effect?
