I have never done anything besides soil or mix 4 for 4 veggies.
I grew last yr Devils Tongue, Bhut Jalokia, Red Savina, Trinidad Scorpion, Naga Morich.
I grew 6 varieties of tomato.
My strawberries were in a flat pot andfailed miserably...they cant sit on sopil..lesson learned.
I grew zucchini, and cucumbers, but they attracted soooo many white flies that I tilled them underground.
This yr I want some new varieties and still the Trinidads.
The Trinidads have a sweet flavor that if your mouth can take the heat are awesome!
I make my own hot sauce and bottle it.
Forgot to mention that I also grew a few varieties of bell peppers.
I got into growing weed as a result of enjoying growing in my garden.
Sometimes I think I enjoy growing weed more than actually smoking it...
