Was hoping you had some advice!
I grew peas last year for the first time - "tainer style. Had pretty good results.

Pre-germinate, inoculate, not too much N and more P.

Pre-germinate - Wet paper towel method works fine. Soak them for an hour (only) first.
Inoculate - N-dure or something like it.

Inoculation makes them "nitrogen fixing" and promotes yield, but you have to be careful with how much N after that.

Decent article on pre-germination here.

This one discusses soaking times.

That's about all I got.
