The last peas and broad beans that I have sowed have been very patchy in
germination, part of the rows are fine, then there will be a complete
gap of a foot or so, this is repeated along the rows. What may the
cause be? I'm pretty certain that it is not slugs and I have laid the
pea sticks over to keep the birds off.

Is it likely to be mice? If so what is the prevention, I have a vague
idea that my father dipped his in paraffin?

TIA
John
