Great idea, Debra! Did you test your soil? I hear that's real important. You know someone local just mentioned to me another advantage to container growing of peppers is that we get torrential rains down here often. So you can control a lot in containers. Of course if you need humungous yields like you might, to make hot sauce, salsas, and powders you may need more than is feasible in containers too. I'm kind of curious as to how many peppers it takes (or plants) to produce how much hot sause or powder. Any formulas on this from anyone here? Good luck on your experiment, Debra, hope you'll keep in touch with your results! Buena suerte amiga!
