I grow in containers with a peat-based mix (20-30 litres per plant). Think about the best environment for peppers -- a tropical jungle floor -- that's very loose, acidic soil with lots of organic plant matter.
I also remove the first flower which forms in the first "fork" or crotch of the plant. I find that this first pepper really stunts or slows down the productivity of the plant.
