Many friends grow peppers and vegetables at home. What they grow is completely natural vegetables, and it's almost enough to feed the whole family. For several months, they don't need to go out to buy peppers or greens. They not only grow peppers, but also grow greens, cucumbers, sweet potato leaves, yardlong beans, water spinach, lettuce, amaranth, and so on. The peppers they grow are hardly fertilized at all, yet the peppers hang in clusters, and after picking they bear again, and after bearing they are picked again. What's the secret?

Tips for a bumper pepper harvest

Peppers need fertilizer to grow, and there is plenty of fertilizer at home. Everyone basically eats eggs every day, at least two a day, so over a month there are quite a lot of eggshells. Put the eggshells in the sun to dry, then crush them and throw them into the potting soil where the peppers are grown. The soil becomes both fertile and loose and breathable.

If you grind the eggshells into powder and mix them with the soil, they are even more easily absorbed by the soil, very fertile, and easily converted into fertilizer. Crushed eggshells in the soil also do not easily attract bugs.

Eggshells contain calcium and many nutrients, which are very beneficial to the growth of peppers. The peppers keep blooming and bear especially many.

Rice washing water: put the rice washing water and crushed fruit peels into a drink bottle or an empty oil drum, place it in a warmer spot, and after fermenting for three months, it is the best fertilizer.

Each time pour out some of the liquid, dilute it with water and use it to water or spray the peppers. The peppers grow more and more lush with branches and leaves, and bloom and bear more fruit.

These two things are too common at home. Add a little of this fertilizer often, and several pepper plants all grow well. You won't worry about running out of fertilizer. It works even better than nutrient solution. If the peppers are grown indoors or on a balcony, when they bloom, shake the branches yourself to pollinate them, and they will set peppers.

If the peppers get aphids, use some finished cigarette butts, soak them in water for ten hours, then spray this water on the pepper leaves. It works quite well. After spraying a few times, there are no more aphids. The peppers grow especially lush and bear especially many.

Usually put the potted peppers out on the terrace more often to get air, see sunlight, and even get rained on. The peppers will sprout more new leaves and flower buds, and the peppers can bear for several months, enough for the whole family to eat.
