growing scotch bonnets


Question
Hi,
I'm in a competition at school. There is three of us and we have to grow the biggest individual chilli, and i was wondering if you had any tips on growing scotch bonnets.
Thanks Andrew Goodman

Answer
Andrew:

I have never grown scoth bonnets but the needs of most peppers are the same, hot climate, not so much water and not so much nitrogen in the fertilizer. Make a raised bed if you can and let the water soak into the bed. Don't apply water to the leaves.

Good luck to you and if they turn out OK send me a photograph.

Best wishes.

Don Battles
