Growing peppers!

[Dragynn]

I stumbled upon the magic ingredient while browsing the web this last winter, bone meal, just unbelievable the results i'm getting this year from just a little side-dressing of each plant!

Hot bananas

Cayennes

My black pearl pepper plant even started making babies after two years of just hanging in there, I have 8 little starter pots full of them! The tomatoes seem to like the bone meal too.

They look great. I also use the bonemeal and grow many different peppers every year. This year I got a bunch of bunny berries (poo) and put in each hole. I started have gobs of peppers on tiny plants that way. So am using it on the rest of the veggies as well.

They look great! I have 10 multi-colored sweet bell peppers started. Once it warms up, they're going out.

Where can you get it and how do you use it?

I wish I could start planting, it's been raining here forever. All that's growing is the weeds.

I just planted my peppers (which took forever to germinate!) outside and I'm interested in getting them to produce and grow well. Do you supplament the soil initially with the bone meal or can the soil absorb it if its put on top like a fertalizer?
