Thats one area I've never even thought about..Used to be in my raised
beds my peppers seemed at least in memory hotter, I donno. They seem
to be every bit as big, and colorfull, etc...But I can't swear to the taste.
Are you saying to just use the compost with NO other type of feeding?
My soil-less medium has no food of it's own, what else can be mixed in?
Remember, I barely have room for my pots, so a mulch or compost pile is out.


The more fertile the soil is, the hotter the peppers. Same goes for
radishes.
