For those who need a little more info than "digging a hole and putting in a seed", I looked up these facts: Peppers need a soil Ph of 6.7 to 7, an inche of water a week, and a dusting of Epsom salts worked into the soil for the magnesium needed to thrive. After soil is very warm, mulch around the plants to retain moisture. Use a well balanced fertilizer when blooms appear and again a few weeks later.

thank you, jeez this was pretty mild info here. Any info on harvesting?

[HighPlainsWoman]

I depends on the type of pepper--sweet or hot. Sweet peppers can be harvested when large enough and used fresh or cut and frozen for later use. Hot peppers like Cayenne can be left of the plant until they turn red. Pull up the whole plant before the first frost and hang upside down on a backporch to dry or you can use a dehydrator. Some people like to roast Anaheims first, then freeze. You can also slice up your red peppers and "can" them in vinegar.

I was hoping for some in-depth advice, like what soil PH balance for a great crop; what type fertilizer is best?

I have enough trouble starting the seeds in a good potting mix under the best conditions. I guess I should have just been digging a hole and throwing in one seed per hole. I'll try that with some of those "pi-me-in-tos".

@HighPlainsWoman why are you having trouble starting seeds? keep them moist and they will germinate. pH is best at slightly acidic as this is where most nutrients are available for plants. 6.5-7 is fine. drainage is a far most important issue and in most of this guy's videos he's using raised beds. he's from an organic farm so thats why he doesn't talk about fertilising. preparation is very important. dig lots of compost or manure into your beds a week or 2 before sowing. hope this helps.

There is no way you can start peppers by seed out in that field.

Even a retard can make this... You make a hole in the soil and put a seed in there! Crappy video. To people who found this video interesting, if you don't water the soil, nothing will grow... Duh!
