No, my main pepper spot is probably not really a garden like most would think of one.  I have terrible pure yellow clay, that is either incredibly sticky when wet or like concrete when dry.  Rather than get a tractor in there to dig it out or till it up when I finally decided to get back to growing seriously last year I just dug holes with post hole digger about 18" deep and filled with a nice mix I made.  Then cover with black plastic, cut a hole about 6" in diameter where the mix filled holes are and plant.  Last year was a test, it worked so well, decided would do again this year.  I actually hope for worse weather or something, plants were way to big and productive last year.  It about killed me, I wouldn't mind everything being about half what it was last year since I also almost doubled the plants.
careful my friend don't karma yourself ! lol    :onfire:
