Thanks Bob_B - hope so! M  

I have decided to down-size my (established) plant collection.  However, some of these peppers are far too hot to give away to friends and family, so I am looking for people who actually know what these plants are, and would want them.   I have listed these plants on eBay, and hope people in...

If anyone is still interested - they were weeds!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O)

Established plants to be re-homed:   I have decided to down-size my plant collection.  However, some of these peppers are far too hot to give away to friends and family, so I am looking for people who actually know what these plants are, and would want them.   I have listed these plants on eBay...

I wonder if anyone else has tried mushroom compost?

scratchzilla - I have to ask, what are you currently doing? :O)

OK - thanks - I think I'll watch them a litte longer :O)

Thanks for your comments - as an update, the new soil seems to be working out well. In the end ordered 1 ton of 'Council mix' i.e.: Council Mix 40% Loam 40% Washed River Sand 8% Cow Manure 12% Mushroom Compost "Popular garden mix suitable for garden bed rejuvenation. Ideal...

I need to get a Ton min. (about 1 cubic meter) I was going to make up about 12 x 22 L pots, the rest can go on the garden bed? Council mix looks good to me - said that it was good at draining ... Thanks for the advice M

I found this web site that delivers soils of different kinds - which do people think would be best for chillies? http://www.martinssoil.com.au/Soils.html Thanks! M

Just a theoretical question: > Does anyone know if there is a prohibition on importing chilli seeds (and growing chilli plants from those seeds) in Hawaii? If so, is there a list of prohibited chilli types? I found this link and no sign of peppers: http://hawaii.gov/hdoa/pi/pq/plants/...
