Coffee grounds are a good snail/slug deterrent, as are eggshells. (Are coffee grounds chemical free?) You need something else for the 'pillars, though. White oil? Ducks? Eternal vigilance?

I have used a chilli spray to some effect. boil up some red chilli flakes or fresh if you have some spare! Cool and dilute strained spicy liquid into a spray bottle. No good for mexican bugs:)

I suggest letting it going to seed, harvesting the seeds and trying growing it again when its cooler.

Hi Pam, Pak Choi/Bok Choy are best planted after midsummer, when day length is decreasing, as increasing day-length will signal it to flower. Once it has started to flower you can't stop it (but you can still eat it!). Sow some more seeds at the end of the summer and through the autumn and you should be fine.

Mine is eaten very badly, half of some leaves are eaten away and the small plants have not got a chance to grow at all.

In between pak choys , I plant coriander to confuse or deter those white flies or white butterflies. Pak choi grow very fast and shaded coriander which love it.

White fly and white butterfly's in general can be discouraged by growing sage throughout your garden, even better is marigolds but they tend to self seed and go everywhere. We started growing sage mixed in with everything else on the advice of the local nursery after losing a whole basil bush overnight to small white fly grubs.
