Default Growing Peppers


"Donna (UK)" wrote
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

We have been growing Thai Dragon chillies (hot) outside on the allotment for
years and have found that Seaweed Extract is excellent to get them growing
strong and fast and with nice dark green leaves. Once in flower a Tomato
feed every couple of weeks works well.
Ours were planted a couple of weeks ago or more as they do need a long
growing season.
