Hi all, I want to grow a few pepper varieties in a contained, raised bed garden and I'm not sure how far down to prepare the soil. I usually grow chillies in 5-gallon buckets and I think that's roughly 10 to 11 inches deep. Would this measurement be sufficient for a raised bed? Thanks for the...

Hi all, My friend, Dominica, of http://www.growhotpeppers.com just published her new e-book "Grow Your Own Jalapenos and Super Hot Peppers in Containers" and I'm helping her promote it. She covers everything a beginner needs to know about growing chillies in containers, including germinating...

Getting the sulphur now! :) Thanks again.

Thank you! I'll get a fan going and be careful about the watering. Also, do you know if leaf spot is something that cause the death of the plants? Kind of paranoid because the chillies with leaf spot are a pepper variety I've been wanting for a long time. Thanks, AJ. Btw, thanks for helping...

Hi AJ, it's pretty cold and dry inside the house. I only water when the top inch of soil gets dry (every 3 days or so). I hope it isn't serious. Thanks!

Thank you! Dominica just told me she got your reply and is very happy. :)

UPDATE: Thanks so much for all the help! Dominica has all the reviewers she needs. Thanks again. =============================================================================== Hi all, My friend, Dominica, just wrote an e-book about growing jalapenos and super hot peppers in containers. She's...

Hi all, I have some young, indoor chili plants that are developing small, black dots on the tops sides of the leaves. These dots appear on the leaves that are closest to the grow light, which is about 5 inches away. I'm not sure what this is and how to fix it. These plants are indoors so it's...

Thank you so much! That means a lot. :)

You should try glass if you can, but be warned, it is VERY addicting! :)

I really appreciate your comment! :) Besides peppers, I make solid sculptures and wine stoppers in a variety of designs. I also do a lot of blown vessels including ornaments, perfume bottles, hollow sculpture and candlesticks. I LOVE doing pepper themes because the colors, sizes and shapes...

Thank you! :)

Sold the last of them. Thanks for checking and hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

Just gorgeous! Makes me happy to look at them. =)

That makes sense. I'm glad I asked!

Thanks for the temperature tip. So many things to remember! I sure hope my plants do well. Best of luck to your peppers too!

Thanks, geeme! Okay, so it sounds like I need to replace the soil once every year when the winter comes, even if I don't bring them inside. Is that right? I really like the electric blanket idea and have access to a nearby outlet so that would work. Thanks again!

Hi all, I plan to overwinter my chile plants, which are all growing in 5-gallon containers. I'm hoping to have my plants for a few years or more. Do I need to replace the potting mix at some point, or is providing regular fertilizer sufficient? If I need to replace the soil, at what point would...

Hi Joe, I think I'm set. I really appreciate your reply to my post. That's interesting about the white bullet coming from the Yucatan region; I didn't know that! Thanks again!

Yay!! :)
