They much prefer lettuce, and strawberries. Little cups of beer is good. Last year, near my strawberry patch I had lots of pine needles and that seemed to deter them, they don't like to get their soft bodies in too rough material. Diatomous earth, which is very granular is also supposed to work good. I have used beer successfully , but usually peas aren’t the plants that slugs go for.

I will see how they do and keep the soaking in mind for the next planting. I also have lettuce that sprouted a couple days ago and a lot of thing have sprouted in our little indoor greenhouse. I am so excited for Spring! I did not soak my peas before I planted them, but a whole bunch of them just sprouted today. I will see how they do and keep the soaking in mind for the next planting.
