I have only every grown early peas, in order to avoid pea moth
maggots.

I am wondering whether there is any point in trying maincrop peas
(perhaps tall ones) next season and wonder whether anyone has
successfully grown them without too much of a maggot invasion.
Presumably a fleece barrier would be no good because the flowers
wouldn't set. Are there any other organic solutions?

Not sure if they really rely on insect pollination, I'd be tempted to
try a few under enviromesh. It seems that an area either has it or
not. We're fortunate here in North Wales - I've never been troubled in
over 30 years. It was a real problem in the E. Midlands when I was
growing up.
