I've my own several times now. It is well worth it
My local butcher sells pork bellies for $4.00-4.50 a pound.
Bacon in my area is up to $8-12.00 a pound.
Turkey bacon is around $3-15.00 per pound now.
I was searching pepper forums on google and I came across this forum.
I'm super glad I did. I plan to grow a lot of different peppers this year and I'm wanting to learn all I can on here.
