Anybody have any good recommendations for an "organic" fertilizer for
peppers?


Our peppers are a bit slow this year due to the drought. They're just
developing flowers now. We have to water them bi-weekly.

Good organic fertilizers are blood meal for nitrogen. Bone meal for
phosphate and wood ashes for potash. Fish emulsion can get expensive,
smells really bad and can draw unwanted pests to the garden like coons and
possums.
