I want them because the Ghost pepper is not that hot I know because I can eat a ghost pepper fresh from the garden,

One should keep in mind, when choosing hot peppers, that their Scoville rating is just a potential of how hot it can get, not necessarily does. the pepper produces capsaicin (the hot stuff) as a defense against harm (being eaten). Sometimes you can love them too much! Lots of water, fertilizer, perfect sun/shade, will make the plant comfortable and unproductive. Try stressing your peppers by reducing the water cycle during mid to late fruit stage.

In a perfect world: Fertilize your peppers with a mix that is low in nitrogen, high in potassium, high in phosphorus. The nitrogen isn't so important, the pepper just doesn't absorb it (Beware! High nitrogen will cause "nutrient lock", stopping uptake of nutrients and starving in out). Potassium: Buy a potash additive or burn hardwood to ash in your barbeque, tilling either in to the soil before planting. Phosphorus: Buy Bone Meal or Bat Guano, Or till in banana peel if nothing else. As a matter of superstition, I plant a matchstick when the flowers drop!

Stale milk any good? full of calcium?

May 25th, 2012 at 2:33:06 PM PDT by

You know, I've heard that but never found any documentation. I would think that the compounds generated during decomposition would be the bigger benefit as compared to the calcium.

One of my grand dads used to grind up egg shells to put in the chickens and turkey feed to make their eggs stronger to deter magpies getting an easy feed. I also read that milk gone off and ground up eggshells can fix the too much nitrogen problems, as it aids for plant to take up water better.?
