6. do you still top the pepper plants so they bush out when planted in containers or do they bush out too much and crowed each other?
7. what about 50% peat moss and 50% compost would that be fine sorry my first year growing peppers

11. I have a question I hope u can help...how big dos the pot have to be in order to let my bellpeper plant get full size? Does it have to be five gallons
12. So I have a stalled pepper plant around 15 inches high, it's in a 5 gallon bucket by itself with a mixture of 2/3 potting soil and 1/3 three in one mix (manure, peat moss and black soil)  This is the soil I used when I transplanted it but it has not grown an bit, plus it has had about 8 flower buds on it now for about 2 weeks that refuse to grow or open, I have not used any fertilizer on it what so ever as the soil mix should have had enough to carry it forward and I didnt want to stunt fruiting further by adding N to it, any suggestions here???
13. I had two habanero plants that I couldn't separate last season. I put them both in the same 7 gallon pot and tilted them sort of sideways and topped them. Both plants grew to a comparable size to other pepper plants in my garden. With the main stem sideways, the plants grew like a healthy, fallen tree would. I will be trying a similar method this year with all of my peppers!
14. hey gary can I grow two Carolina reapers in a 16 inch wide, 7 gallon bucket or should I just plant 1? i wanna plant two but im scared that they will each fight for space and ill just end up with 2 small peppers by the end of the growing season instead of 1 big one. what do you think i should do?
15. I was wondering how long the bamboo stakes are that you use?
16. It is ok to add Epson salt with soil mix, or add it later when watering.
17. Hi, I dont have a yard to dig earth from but i can go to home depot/ What would be a good mixture for peppers?
18. I am going to try doing this, this year with peppers and tomatoes.  I planted different varieties of lettuce and some spinach in pots last year with no luck at all. I think my soil was too dense, but not really sure...any thoughts.
19. I just drill some holes in the bottom of my buckets & throw in some marbles or stones for drainage.? This works great for all of my plants.
