Glad to do so.

Alamo, those who grow tomatoes and peppers, etc., in containers usually do have to add some Ca++ to the growing medium, depending on what it is. That's b'c Ca++ leaches out of the medium b'c of the larger amount of water that folks have to use with container growing.

I'm not one who grows much in containers so if you want to continue to do so I suggest asking those in the Container Forum what they use.

I would think that your peppers would do better inground as to BER. But b'c there are so many stresses that can induce BER inground or otherwise, it's hard to tell what might happen from one season to the next, as is true with tomatoes as well.
