Pepper BER Question
I have had a question lingering on my mind for quite some time.
This last year I grew tons of bell peppers. I had yellow, Orange, Red, etc...I probably had a dozen plants or so.
My plants all got big and looked seemingly healthy. The peppers it produced were all big and thick walled too.
The only problem I had was on 80% or more of my peppers a 'soft spot' formed and ultimately created a hole in my peppers. It looked like that one spot on the fruits were rotten, but the rest of the pepper was great.
This last season I grew everything in containers and that included my peppers.
Just for future reference what actually causes the rotten spots to form and how can I combat that? I had someone tell me its called Blossom End Rot but to be honest my pepper farm was experimental only so I didn't fiddle with it all that much.
I had most of my attention honestly on my tomatoes.
