Many friends grow peppers and vegetables at home themselves. The vegetables they grow are completely natural, and are just about enough to feed a whole family. For several months, there's no need to go out and buy peppers or greens. They not only grow peppers, but also grow greens, cucumbers, sweet potato leaves, green beans, water spinach, lettuce, amaranth and so on. The peppers they grow are hardly fertilized at all, yet they bear peppers in clusters, picking again and again, bearing again and again. What's the secret?

Little tricks for a bumper pepper harvest

Peppers need fertilizer to grow big, and there is plenty of fertilizer right at home. Everyone basically eats eggs every day, at least two a day, so over a month the eggshells really add up. Dry the eggshells in the sun, then crush them and toss them into the potting soil where the peppers grow. The soil becomes both fertile and loose and airy.

If you grind the eggshells into powder and mix them into the soil, they are even easier for the soil to absorb, extremely 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 good for the growth of peppers. The peppers keep flowering and bear especially many fruits.

Rice-washing water: put the water used to rinse rice and crushed fruit peels into a drink bottle or an empty oil drum, place it somewhere with a higher temperature, and after fermenting for three months, it becomes 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 and leafy, with more flowers and fruits.

These two things are far too common at home. Add a little of this fertilizer regularly, and even a few pepper plants will grow well, and you'll never 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 flower, just 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 that water on the pepper leaves. It works quite well. After spraying a few times, the aphids are gone. The peppers grow especially lush and bear especially many fruits.

Usually, put the peppers grown in pots out on the terrace more often to get air, see the 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.
