We are growing pak choi and they were all growing well but now they are all eaten. We don't know what's eating them but the leaves look all chopped. And whatever that has been eating them eats really fast!
Could anybody give suggestion please?
Many thanks..

My guess is slugs or snails too. They'll go through pak choi seedlings like a lawnmower.

That's the $64,000 question! Personally I use woodash. There are many other methods, with varying rates of effort and success. Try searching with 'slugs' as a keyword. I think there was a thread on this not so long ago.

I also get cabbage white catapillars on my pak choi, but they leave lots of holes.

I have found over the years that Flea Beetles love just about every Oriental Vegetable I have ever grown.
I now protect with anti White Fly netting and now have no problems.
I do not regard the use of slug pellets as a crime!
