Spice Up Your Life: Growing Peppers with Permaculture Principles

Now, let’s talk companion planting. Peppers thrive with beans, tomatoes, and eggplants as neighbors, but be sure to keep them away from fennel and kohlrabi – they’re not exactly the best of friends. As for pests, forget the pesticides! Try planting marigolds or nasturtiums to repel aphids and other pesky bugs. And if you really want to keep things spicy, try planting some habanero peppers nearby – their heat can even deter deer and other animals. When it comes to watering, don’t drown your peppers! They prefer consistent moisture but not overly soggy soil. And if you really want to give them a boost, try using some compost or organic fertilizer to give them the nutrients they need to thrive. And finally, harvesting time! Whether you like your peppers hot or sweet, make sure to pick them when they reach their full size and color. And don’t forget to save some seeds for next year’s crop.

In conclusion, growing peppers with permaculture principles can add some much-needed spice to your life and your garden. So grab your seeds, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to spice things up! Remember: “No pepper, no fun!”
