there are several of these maybe a hundred living in the crotches of tomatillos and peppers. 

So then your suggestion, from another topic is 2 parts neem to 1 part peppermint Dr. Bronner's. Are those teaspoons mixed with a gallon of distilled water?

I just figured out what eats my tomatillo leaves. I've got flea beetles in the garden, wondering If people have suggestions on controlling them. found some larger adults hiding in my peppers and some tiny ones on my tomatillos. I'm reading about using Neem oil and or Diatomaceous earth. While I...

We've been hit here in Columbus every day since last Saturday. My plants have been doing well but today I come back and several plants are tilted a little from the wind and leaves flipping upside down. The 10 day forecast, which shows actually 15 days, 5 days are without rain. Of course this can...

Yeah If I was selling a baggy of peppers for $120 I'd maybe spring for it. I was buying awesome Jalepenos last fall 10 for $1. 

I found a recipe for super soil blend from roll it up, courtesy of gangamystic, not sure if it applies here to peppers.    vegan super soil super soil: - 100 gal base mix - 30-40 lbs compost ** - 12 lbs fossilized bat guano 0-7-0 *** - 6 lbs soybean meal 7-2-1  - 6 lbs alfalfa meal 2.5-1-1 - 3...

Great. This is the sort of Information I need. Last year definitely wasn't a stellar year, terrible in fact. Problem is, there were so many unknowns, including voles that I can't say exactly what I did wrong. My food scrap compost is 100% plants. It still needs a couple weeks to finish. I bought...

OK so for a primary feed, If I don't use fish fertilizer, I'm wondering if top dressing with kitchen scrap compost or even leaf compost would work as a primary in containers? Maybe mix in some worm castings then apply some alfalfa once or twice. Or should it be compost tea in container gardening...

yes  the Tractor supply has pellets and cubes. Have to be careful some have other ingredients, molasses,soybean oil, proprionic acid?.  I'm surprised by the pellet idea. How long does it take for them to break down? How much to use or how to apply? It seems that the NPK is around 2.5-1-1...

thanks all there's a bit here for me to look up. I'm currently on a no ground up animals momentum, if I can help it. Yet, I glue together musical instruments with ground up hides! The alfalfa meal and kelp meal both look promising. 

I've got over 20 plants to care for, so maybe Neptune is out. It seems like the Alaskan Fish Fertilizer is super popular. I'll have to look in on the seaweed/kelp and alfalfa, interesting. I don't have any rabbits, maybe straight alfalfa meal is acceptable?

So I've got my plants put in their final containers, plastic grow bags. I'm wondering what people are using for organic fertilizers? I've bought a lot of stuff already this year, but don't want to skimp out now. I was planing on top dressing with the compost I'm building from kitchen scraps. My...

the reason I'm in bags this year is we had a vole problem coming up through the bed. I shoveled all of the soil out and screwed hardware cloth to the bottom. I didn't want to put all the soil back in only to have to move again in the future, it is rented property.I wanted to give containers...

The image of what I've got. 

This year I'm corralling 18 -10 gallon plastic bag containers in a 4'x8' bed.  They're all peppers. Scotch Bonnet, Habanero, Jalapeno, Poblano, Aji Lemon Drop, Aji Benito, Cayenne and Jimmy Nardelo. If I don't mess them up I'm thinking this is going to be very densely populated by about August...

Yes I'm growing organic. Grocery store Habaneros will give you a little heat but the flavor isn't the same, plucking a nice fresh pod from your plant is simply the best!

love eating peppers still trying to get a good grow season, I'm hoping this year will get me closer. This year I'm growing Habaneros, Aji lemon drops, Aji Benitos, Zapotec Jalapenos, Poblanos, Zia Pueblos, Pepperoncini and Scotch Bonnets. looking forward to getting some juicy fruit later this...
