Recently I came across an Organic plant food with printed rating of 5-10-3, Brand name is Electra from Universal Chemical Co., West Lynn, MA. Avaibale in the Northeast at Agway stores. (Distibution ??) Since most folks recomend a higher phosphorous rating for peppers. I think this might be a little better than fish emulsion. P rated for all that I have seen, of 1. I also came across the following site for making your own. House plant or container food http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/~robsond/solutions/horticulture/docs/pantry.html Byron
