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?

Unfortunately we have recently given up growing tall main crop peas as, due
to the hot dry summers lately, they just give up before cropping. Now only
plant "earlies" both early and late. Always get some maggot attack, even on
the earlies towards the end of their season, but as it's just for us we
throw the "bad" ones away and always have plenty that have no damage.
