i learned an important lesson about fertilizer this year
back (last fall) when my worm bed was covered in leaves that were
partly shredded then covered with stacks of leaves laid flat
for over winter protection... i had added some strong fertilizer (organic)
that would provide ample nitrogen for decomposition.
Well that fertilizer was still "available" come the next spring
so much so... that my pepper crop grew 5 feet tall and produced
small peppers even though the foliage was LUSH meaning it was
dedicated to growth and
not fruiting.
Lesson Learned!
adding a note:
actually they are fruiting just not the way i had envisioned
