Potting mix

[Powelly]

I used to do the all organic containers but gave up as our growing season is far to short to reap the benefits. Hydro nutes in containers always lead to far bigger plants and more fruit. 3.5 month growing season changes the way i have grown over the years considerably.

I have tried many different feeding regimes and my favourite for my climate is maxibloom from start to finish. Heard great things about dyna-gro but it is too hard to get in Canada.

 
If you want to try an experiment, try growing a cover crop in the container during the winter. Grasses will likely do well during the winter - not sure about clover or legumes. Top dress with malted barley once a week as well, I've found that it is really magical stuff
 
Then when the start of the season, just plant the pepper in the middle and leave the cover crop around it.
