I like a compost that is as natural as possible, no additives etc. Especially no water retaining components added in. This is why I prefer using my own homemade compost. But when don’t have enough of my own compost (or have just moved home like this year!) I will buy a well sifted, general purpose compost that doesn’t cost a fortune. As you see from my videos, I am enriching my compost mix with a variety of additives so I can control what my plants get….and it works out more cost effective!

That being said, there is nothing wrong with John Innes, and if you can get it for a good price, then it should be just fine.

Good luck with your season! And Stay Spicy!

I was wondering if you could recommend a good potting on compost/mixture for seedlings? I have some peat-free coir compost, but I have seen John Innes 1 and 2 compost mixes recommended elsewhere.

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Kind regards,

Robert

Hi Shane,
The spreadsheet I link to in this post shows all my seeds that I have started this season.

Do you have a full listing and count of each pepper you’re planting in the 2021 season? How many peri peri pepper plants to you normally grow to get a decent yield to make sauce?

Thanks,
Shane

Have a look at this video of mine where I discuss the correct way to water. Hopefully it helps you out https://youtu.be/oHW7c1pmTcs

Sounds like you are off to a good start Dan! I would be a little hesitant to pot up your plants until they are more established (at least until the first true leaves have established themselves)
