Hi Gary,
Sorry for the delayed replay.In early season I use 6.6.6 plus ME in late/hot season 20.20.20 plus ME fert dissolved in tap water in prescribed dose.I apply the nutrient sollution once every 3-4 waterings.
I have DIY subirrigation pots for peppers.I drilled a side hole to 2-5 lt pots which didn't have any bottom holes.About half of the setups have only diatomite as medium others have diatomite up to drenage hole level to obtain a water reservoir and the rest topped with a potting mix (30-50 % diatomite, 5-10 % perlite, completed by peat and organic fert pellets)Maintenance (watering and fertilizing) is same for both setups so the results.First 2 photos illustrate the side hole, C. baccatum 'Hot Lemon' transplanted to 5 lt DIY subirrigation pot in April 2012.Last photo was taken 2 weeks ago.
