    Pro Mix in North Carolina

    Looking to see if any of you NC or SC guys/gals could let me in on where to buy pro-mix. I know of a couple of places but was looking to shop around before I spent $35 on a bale. No problem doing it, but it can be found closer or cheaper, Im all for it.

    favorite favorite newmex chili

    Ok odd topic, but what are the peppers that they stick in the boxes of pizza from Papa Johns....I dont know if all the papa johns do it, but I know one of the local ones around here used to stick a light green pepper in each pizza box. Good flavor, trying to figure out what it is. Not a hot pepper.

    Little pansy if I don't like beer. Give me almost any liquor straight or mixed or those “bitch beers” like the hard lemonades but I hate beer. A good spiced rum on the rocks or straight or with coke is my favorite but I never met a tequilla, rum, vodka, bourdon, scotch or regular whiskey I...

    How much root space is needed for a pepper plant to mature in an aeroponics system? Most systems seem to have multiple plants in small spaces. I was thinking of using a 20 gallon Rubbermade storeage tote I have and putting two in it? Been reading up a lot on it, looks like a fun inside plant...

    Bolivian Rainbows

    Now I know why they are an ornamental. YUCK! Dad has one and has had it for a couple years now and pulled some ripe pods off to dry. I popped one and just about puked. Terrible flavor. Any of yall eat them. Produces a lot of pods not to be useful. NOTE TO SELF: ORNAMENTALS ARE THAT FOR A REASON!!

    seeds soil temperature for starting seed?

    How important is consistant soil/peat/coir fiber temperature? I don't have a heating mat so I use the greenhouses outside and they go from probably 60s at nite to once up to 90s. Try to only give it shade near a sunny place or broken up sunlite for heat. Planted tuesday and wednesday obviously...

    chinense Naga/Bhut Jolokias from Peppergal?

    Ordered some, but now skeptical because they're labeled as Naga/Bhut Jolokia. A very kind forum member took the time to explain the different Bhut's and Nagas to me, so now I'm worried about what it is. Anybody grew them from peppergal.com?
