The bell peppers are a bit small for now. I haven't transferred the plants to a bigger pot, but I've been consistently adding fertilizer monthly. I guess that helps a lot.
Here's why I think I've been successful with this batch:
1. Consistent watering everyday.
2. Top up fertilizer at the beginning of every month. Switching to chicken manure was very helpful.
3. Putting the pots above ground helped keep pests away.
4. Surrounding the bell pepper plants with dog fennel helped keep aphids away.
5. Trimming infected leaves helps keeps pests and fungus away.
6. Spray weekly with neem oil, baking soda and castillr soap mixture.
It's a lot of work, but bell peppers now are very expensive, even small harvests help. I'll use the two new bell peppers we got today to make papaya atsara. Woohoo!
