Fertilizing. Peppers in pots generally need a little more feeding than those
outdoors growing in aged manure. About once a week early in the growing
season, use a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, diluted even
more than the instructions suggest. Fish emulsion seems to work well for
organic gardeners. A good slow-release fertilizer is Osmocote, which does
not burn the plants and provides a steady supply of nutrients. If the growth
of the potted pepper seems more vigorous than that of the same variety in
the garden, or if blossoms are dropping, stop using the fertilizer. If
blossom drop continues, too much nitrogen has been applied, and the pot
should be flushed by running a lot of water through it.

Hi All

I am going to try and grow some peppers this year and noticed that a few
websites say to feed the plant every week or so. Has anyone got any
experience of growing peppers and did they feed them, and if so what did
they find was the best feed.

Any feedback would be appreciated

Donna
