- There are a 1000 ways to feed container plants. This is the basic way I set up my container for growing peppers. No need to be exact. Mature vegetable plants suck the life out of container soil... so give them a lot.

I didn't know peppers needed that much phosphorus. I would've just thought the all purpose granular would cover their needs, thanks for the video.
Very grateful to you for ALL you impart to us. This particular video came with perfect timing for me. Although I’m a lifetime gardener, at the age of 78, I’m planting more things in pots and this year I, also, tried the cloth bags that were my daughter’s cast-offs. She tried them only for flowers & didn’t like them. I did one pot with 2 peppers and two pots with red onions. All doing wonderfully. My whole gardening life I have been a failure at growing radishes (of all the dumb things to fail at!) & onions. My red onions are doing great in these pots. The ones in the ground = lousy 🤔. I shall revisit this video next year to do your “recipe” for soil prep for peppers. I’m so addicted to your channel. 👌
super informative video for pepper growing, i learned a lot.. for more fruit production.
Hi Gary ! Beautiful peppers !
Perfectly explained amigo! It’s crazy how much we “need” to know exact numbers… and even crazier how hard it is to break that habit! Thanks for the many years of reminding us of this! Beautiful peppers by the way :)
Measuring by the handful and toss is a sanity and time saver for me. You could over do organic fertilizer in theory but it just breaks down nicely. Slow and steady.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Do you have an amazon store? Every time I try to buy anything from anywhere other than Amazon, the prices skyrocket by the time I checkout.

Thanks for the video. I need to feed my sweet peppers some more. I thought I was liberal with the feeding, but apparently not. My sweet pepper plants are just sitting there. I've only gotten 2 Jimmy Nardelo and 3 Lemon Dream peppers. No bell peppers, Marconi or sweet pepperoncici at all! My hot peppers are doing well this year though. So that's one positive. Usually I have trouble with all peppers, hot or sweet.
Hi. Great video !! Thanks for mentioning the size of the pot for 2 plants. Peace to you and yours

I am growing two California wonder peppers in your 10 gallon grow bag and the plants look great. Planting two really helps to provide maximum shade. They look to be super producers, although the few very hot , humid, and dry weeks in July put a bit of stress on the plants.
Bells I found are a bit harder to grow, so nice job. These plants are a bit more worn compared to 2 weeks ago, before the heat.

I use fish emulsion early. But later I use non-aerated worm tea as a soil drench.
That works

could I do a 50/50 of peat and garden soil fro. soil you think?✌❤
Thanks for another great video! Can I use the ash from my grill? It has charcoal and wood. Also, if I mix in deseased plant parts when I have a fire, is it still okay to use the ash in my garden? Thanks tons 🧑🌾
This is my first year experimenting with fabric pots for tomatoes and peppers. The peppers are doing great. When I planted them I added a handful of blood meal under the plant and used fish fertilizer in the start of the season. I am also picking them asap, even on the medium size, not letting them get too big and they are really producing. So far I am not a fan of tomatoes in the fabric pots.
The 20 gallon pots make a big difference for tomatoes. But moisture is a challenge. I love the peppers too.

Thank you Gary for explaining why you did this fertilizing regimen so as a gardener I understand and not just follow the method. I have had issues with low count of peppers on my plants. But now I feel confident to try again. On a different note is your seed store stocked with seeds for the 2022 season yet?
Good luck. And just test out the principles

As always, great information, and I'm jealous of the amount of peppers you are growing. How many seasons do you expect to get out of these grow bags?
Well I know for sure 3. But they have UV protection so should go longer.

As usual, great video, Gary. Question: do you top your pepper plants? If so, how and when?
I don't top them. I used to top when smaller to make them bushier but I replaced that by planting 2 peppers per planting hole and that works for more pepper per space

I have the Rubicon brand fish fertilizer and it's 2-3-0 rather than 5-1-1. I'm guessing it'll be good to continue using during the fruiting stage with its higher phosphorous content. I've heard good reports for tomato and pepper.
They do vary. All I can say is give it at try.

Question I live in NC we get a good bit of rain and down pours sometimes for days. What would you recommend in that case not only for my peppers but entire garden.
Love watching you and Kim last week. You give the best tips thanks for all you do and sharing with us🌶️🍆🥑🍅🥔🥕🌽🥒🥦🌶️
So one I think that creates great risk for fungus and diseases. Like leaf spot. So I would pick your products and stay on a routine for disease prevention.. If it rains but the soil drains that's not so bad but lots of rain can make plant leaves yellow and even get mold on them. There really is much you can do. If the plants seem to suffer and they are not in raised beds, you can build 10-12 inch raised beds and plant that way. They tend to drain better. But it is a lot of work.

Can we top dress with extra bone meal after the plant starts flowering? I threw in some slow release and a little bone meal when they were planted, but not as much as you show. I gave them fish emulsion for several weeks, and they are really green and taking off, now. Lots of blossoms! Just wondering if a little extra bone meal would help support them since they are starting to produce.
The ones directly under the shade cover are noticeably thriving more than the ones that are on the sunnier side.
I personally did after my first harvest. Just put some all purpose fertilizer on the top of my containers and then watered that in with langbenite (very high in potassium) and they just popped
It won't hurt. And if you have many months left of growing it will help. The like lots of light but the shade often keeps the soil cooler and plants do like that. Hot soil can shut plants down as they go into survival mode.

also another question.
our in ground peppers struggled in ground this year in a fam garden we have had for decades, but is at the bottom of a hill on 2 sides.
We cleared land above it and put our trailer in so we have a ditch run off that has been running into that garden which I figured would be great as it dont really wash away top layers cause Ive made ditches through it. As the peppers were struggli g, I tested my soil again... well it turns out that my potassium levels wont even register! I got a new kit thinking it was a dud... same thing! what would be the best thing to amend this in your opinion? my garden is 100x 80 foot and this seems to be an issue all through it but worse where the peppers are. My tomatoes, cukes, and squash did amazing although the cuke Beatles have been a headache but peppers just wouldn't grow even with bloodmeal and bone meal. The others Barely flower. the only one that did good was some Auroras I had extra seedlings from when I ran out of containers.
All my pepper wer from seed this year and did great till transplant. my container peppers are doing wonderful. Thank you for any input ✌❤

Hi!! Super informative video, thank you!! Question… I’m growing bell peppers and banana peppers in containers this year. I added blood meal to my potting mix in addition to balanced fertilizer & garden lime (they’re seedlings, still small). Was that a mistake? Thanks!!

Thank-you for all the information you provide. I just ordered your book. My question is about fish emulsion. I had ordered some but my dog went crazy from the smell, then I started doing some research. Does fish emulsion attract critters to your garden? Also, what would be a good alternative to fish emulsion. I live in a small town in west Texas and we have cats and other creatures roaming about. I think the fish emulsion would attract them to my garden even though it is fenced in.
Thanks for the book support. So it can. I am working with a new organic soluble called agrothrive. No smell. Ill be doing a video on it soon.

Wow this is what info I needed. Gary I do container gardening due to limited space. I haven’t change potting mix in two years and planing to use this year same mix. How can I rejuvenate the soil. Planning to replace mix next year. Please advice. Thanks
I have videos on it. Check out container mix or refreshing container mixes. They are there. But its basically dump them and some peat or coco coir. Compost if you have it. And some organic granular and mix. Refill the container and your good for another 2 years

Glad you stopped me I was about to feed my peppers with more fish fertilizer which has a lot of nitrogen, so bone meal it will be, I don't have wood ash. I have lots of 'green' fruit, a huge bed of multiple plants of 6 types of peppers no color showing besides green yet.
It is good to cut back nitrogen now. There is a product called Morbloom or More Bloom by alsakas brand. Its a 0-10-10 Fertilizer. It is good for tha P and K. Just a dose now and again.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thanks for the 'More Bloom' tip since I don't have any wood ash available to me, have a great Sunday!
Hi Gary - is charcoal ash from grilling considered wood ash? AKA Kingsford.
So I only use ash from wood I burn. Charcoal if it is 100% wood is fine with no chemical additives. But I never fully looked into it.

Great video question is can you use charcoal ashes?
I dont know for all types. If it is wood charcoal and you know that, yes. If there are other additions, not sure.

Gary, what’s the benefit of doing sunken containers for peppers?
I like the look but its an easy way to make a long line, concentrate the good resources and manage weeds around them. I just mulch around the pots.

How often are you watering roughly?
Getting sun scald spots should peppers get shade in the afternoon? Or just put up some shade for them so hot lately 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
They can get iti for sure. No the like the full sun. Some shade cloth is best IMO.

For sure. You can mix peppers

Gary quick question about wood ash. We burn tons on weed piles and black walnut. Do you think that ash is no bueno?
So I can't imagine anything is left of the black walnut. But hardwood is what I typically burn and use. I would save some and experiment in a space before spreading it everywhere.
Do you completely cut the bottoms of the plastic containers out when you partially bury them in the ground? I thought about doing this to better control the soil and fertilizer and at the same time not letting all the nutrients run out of the pot.
At least half. It works really well

I planted my peppers 2 weeks ago into the raised bed I have - I had added garden tone to the soil when I turned my bed - can I add the bone meal now around base of plant and water in? They’re growing nicely but not rapidly since planting .. I think they’re definitely looking for some extra nutrients
You can do that. Bone meal has to breakdown over time. If you need something fast, a water soluble like fish emulsion is better.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I have Neptune’s harvest fish and seaweed liquid fertilizer should I use that instead
You set them up with the granular and bone meal before you transplant? Do you give more bone meal after they’ve established in the containers?
So first, there is no exact way. You just want to know you have amended at least once. Basically I vary my approach. But... amend at transplant or several months before. Mid season or mid growth, I will add in something across the top. Sometimes bone meal, or a general organic granular, or just compost. The idea is consistent ongoing nutrients.

Gary i am growing peppers for the FIRST time this year…actually quite a number of things…i listen to you all the time as i basically know nothing at this point & we are the same growing zone… i set
up my container just like you said; i loaded my soil as you said… my question is, when i cut back on the Nitrogen, do i continue to feed something??? Or is what i loaded the soil with enough until harvest??? Please help; they are starting to flower😊
Congrats on getting started. You could really just cut your water soluble nitrogen by half. The nitrogen worry is more when using Miracle Grow that has like 24 nitrogen. You dont need all that. If yours is around a 5 like fish emulsion, you really dont need to lower it. Most likely you did a good job and everything is there. Just let them flower and fruit. If they look like they are struggling add some water soluble fertilizer.

I am growing my peppers in a GreenStalk. They’re doing well. Would you recommend anything different for growing in a virtual planter?
I have a set up for that. I do add in worm casting by Vermisterra. I am affiliated with them and the link and discount are in my video description. For the towers I use the granular organic you saw here and worm castings. If you are growing a lot of peppers in the tower, I would add in the bone meal too. You could skip the wood ash.

Hi, I was wondering if you’ve ever experienced cross pollination having the jalapeños next to bells and shishitos?
Cross pollination shows up in the following year's seed and not in this years taste. And peppers self pollinates so it's hard to make a cross.

Would love to say my garden produces as well yours does, far from the truth.
Another bad year.
2 plastic containers with Jalapenos 1 with a Serronto pepper for some Heat. The Jalapenos as mild as Green Peppers, very disappointing.
Times are better, will get the 5-5-5 Ferterlizer. Put a little in the soil maybe it will help, using Miracle Grow potting mix.
2 questions? Can I use 555 before planting Acorn Squash seeds?
And second question.
Using home grown Lettuce for Fall crop, some are in ground, can I use the 555 around the plants that growing or wait use it on the second crop in the ground first?
So far have Summertime Bibb, Romaine, Nevada... Nevada is summer lettuce last thru first frost, And Arugula.
Still waiting for Tom Thumb produce dead flowers for seeds.
Will also grow Kale an Broccoli.
Used piss poor fish emulsion on my 4 different sections of bush beans along with a Perennial Flower Floratine Blazing Violets grow 4ft tall. Beans an flowers doing quite well.
My cucumbers are piss poor, gotten flowers but no fruit.
Great videos thank you
I am growing peppers in containers as well. After I cut back on the fish emulsion should I be adding more bone meal every month or so? I know they suck the life out of my fabric pots. I just don’t know how long that first placement of bonemeal will last.
The bone meal is best in the beginning as it slowly breaks down over the weeks and months. You can top dress with some basic granular mid season or even once a month if you want. Just, like you did, cut back on the FE.

I just yelled out to my husband in the other room, "Gary let's his jalapenos turn red".... like he's an old friend of ours haha
We has a traumatizing experience with jalapenos last night. Think we harvested it too early because it was HOT! Terrified for the Serrano, cayenne and habaneros I have going
LOL. I think they are a bit sweeter when red.

Hi Gary, I just watched this video. So apply bone meal when you plant seedling than again when plant start flowering abd you see bud on plant. Between all this time can I use miracle gro water soluable or nap tube harvest fish emulsion ?
Yes and no. The hard thing is knowing how well your soil has been amended. But... I would apply it at planting. It will break down for mid season plant needs. If you are using MG and FE, you probably dont need the midseason bone meal.

Hi, 👋. Every time I used 5-1-1 fish fertilizer, almost all my veggies (tomatoes, peppers, cantaloupe, squash) developed weird leaves. Smaller and thinner than normal leaves, looks dry and the pattern is ... just weird. I followed the instruction and actually used below recommended concentration (I used three table spoons of it in a 2.5 gallon water bottle). The only veggies not affected were kale and broccoli. Any idea what’s wrong?
No idea. I use Alaska brand. I wonder what it is going on

Well when then stop getting bigger. Taste them. Once the stop growing a lot of peppers go from green to red.

its good stuff and can be used so lightly across the garden

No this is from burning hardwoods. I suppose pure hardwood charcoal would be close but you don't want starter chemical in it.

How can you grow different peppers sitting so close to each other?
I made the mistake in planting Anaheims, Bells, Jalapeños & Banana Peppers in the same raise bed & got the most funky tasting peppers! None of the peppers tasted as you vwoukd expected. Cross pollination definitely was the problem.
Since then, I line my garden ith peppers in pot, far, far away from each other!! Especially since now I'm growing Reapers & Ghost Peppers Lol lol
I wonder what the flavor is. Cross pollination only affects the seeds that first year not flavor. The next year, the cross, comes through in the fruit and flavor.

There is no way cross pollination was the cause as that would only effect the seeds from the fruit if grown the following year. If you had funky tasting peppers it was 100% to do with the growing medium used or the seeds that were used to grow the plants came from bad plants.

What's the advantage of organic granular over synthetic for the plant?
Granular feeds plants over several months when applied correctly. Synthetic soluble fertilizer, think crystals here, only last a couple of weeks. Long term versus short-term
Organic feeds the soil, too. You want healthy soil life which in turn feeds your plants.
The biggest benefit for organic is it is a slow release and it feed soil microbes. They break it down. Leave stuff behind and it more like a normal cycle. The synthetic types are in the form of NPK the plants need and they don't support soil life. NOW... sensible use doesnt kill off your soil life and it doesnt harm plants but relying on them over and over can cause issues with the soil. I use synthetics here and there as a boost when needed.

What can I grow in 3 and 5-gallon containers?
This method does not work well for smaller pots and sunflowers/borage Cause a handful is too much! I suppose it's about moderation, and to be honest I'd give it a little bit of time before hitting it with the fish emulsion, as the dry fertilizers are plenty of feeding for at least a little while.
There are may ways to do it.
