    What's eating my peppers

    Keep the plant seperately from others. You can try to get rid off them by using sticky side of tape however it is kind of hard to get them all. Some people use soap water spray. I'm using neem oil and it works great for me - I have had aphids several times and after 2 or 3 sprayings they all died.

    Nitrogen addiction?

    Imho it was meant like this:   Organic materials decay (very simplified) stuff containing aminoacids -----(bacteria)------> amonnium ------(bacterias)------> nitrates   plants as far as I know use mainly nitrate form.

    water My Tap water ph is 9.0, is this ok?

    How long after it cools down to a room temperature do you test it? If it is mineral deposit issue, letting the water sit to precipitate the base excess should bring pH back to normal.   I have never seen so high pH of tap water, it may be due to sodium hydroxide they add.
