I sort of "pre-inherited" a bunch of back issues of Organic
Gardening magazine, (Grandma is 94 and was cleaning house).
As I plow through them I have noticed a few things that may
be of interest:

A study showed that high nitrogen levels can reduce the
amount of vitamin C in the veggies by about about half.  The 
study did not mention peppers specifically, but I guess it
could apply.  Anybody know different?

Lots of compost ideas.  My favorite so far is the laziest.
Take a bag of leaves in the fall, add water, poke a few holes in
the bag and wait until spring.  Even I can handle that.

An organic recipe for bug spray is "bug juice", take the
offending bugs, blend into a mash with water and spray.  The
only odd thing is it's recommended for use on aphids, but
the instructions call for 1 cup bugs to 2 cups water.
