    To me, the problem is not expensive gas, but the rapid weakening of the US Dollar. Recent monetization of the US debt (they like to call it "Quantitative easing" or "Asset Purchases" more recently. Here's the problem:

    Neem Oil Extract

    I've always had a fantastic results with pure neem oil and a little bit of castile soap. It's not instant knockdown but it thwarts and messes up reproductive cycles in pest insects. Applied every 10 days for 3 applications then as needed, it is really effective and extremely safe.

    You should drop them off a small red 7-pot and tell them it's one of those Mexibell peppers. You know - only around 3,000 SHU. The guy behind the counter should try it. :-D <hehehehe>

    shopping looking to buy LED light, opinions?

    All other things being equal, count on 12-15 Watts of LEDs covering no more than 2.25 Sq Ft. That's a tad over 6 Watts per square foot, which is really efficient when you consider that HID growers typically use 25-40 W/SF. So on the low end, your 250W HPS covers ~ 10 SF reliably. To achieve the...

    Happens to best of us, man! Don't fret too much and look at the brighter side - this is more time for yourself and your loved ones and money can't buy time. Whenever I'm feeling down I just spend time with my peppers in the garden and get a great sense of peace out of that. Crack open a cold one...

    Jute bags as grow bags?

    Love the bags! I get far better results using bags/tubes that are very porous rather than solid pots. Happy plants!

    pests Bug chewing holes in peppers?

    Likely a caterpillar of some sort. They tend to leave superhots alone after taking a bite. I probably lose one of every hundred pods to them. Saw a caterpillar dead hanging off a T-Scorp a few weeks ago. Should have taken a picture - guess the Scorps are hot enough this year!

    sterilization of spices

    Irradiation works incredibly if you have the equipment or access to it. Are you talking dry spices or are you making sauces?

    storage Pod smoking and freezing?

    I got some Butch-T powder from Justaguy on here - he smokes peppers with cherry wood and then grinds them into a powder. Got me a packet of it and I sprinkle on my food. It's awesome and doesn't need refrigeration. I'd write him a PM because he really knows what he's doing.

    pickled Pickled peppers....

    After 40 pounds of onions and I don't know how many bushels of tomatoes I worship my mandolin slicer. What kind of knife do you use when you have to cut 50+ lbs of jalapenos? Thanks!

    It's official! I'm moving to Maine in less than 6 weeks! Hooray! This means I'll have a greenhouse (or two) soon. Will still be growing superhots in USDA zone 4b :-D

    pickled Pickled peppers....

    Those look delicious SalsaLady! I made some pickled peppers last week but did not process this in a hot water bath - just a pH of 3.4 in the jars hot packed then stored in the fridge. Even with a case of jars it rarely lasts more than 3 months so I think I'm OK. Do you keep your water bath'd...
