Anybody have any good recommendations for an "organic" fertilizer for
peppers? Not doing to good with just manure this year. Growth is stunted
like. I've had lots of blossoms, but only 2 peppers. They have only
grown about 2 inches since planting. I have a variety of peppers, sweet &
hot. Significant amount of water each day, but not too much. No problem
with bugs & other pests, no spots or browning on leaves. All other plants
that were planted the same day as the peppers are doing fine, even doubled
their size. Just having trouble with the peppers lagging behind in growth.
Do they need some other type of fertilizer, or is something else wrong?

thanks for any input,
Rachael aka Rae

PS: in south/sandhill area of NC


Candidly, I can't see jalapenos producing anything at 2" tall... Must be a
midget pepper.

I don't have an answer Rachael but if I couldn't see a problem, I'd try
some B1. If you can get the roots to grow, the rest will follow along.
Good luck,
