Protecting from frost

Louie Conti — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 23:48:20 +0000

I’ve seen a lot of people spraying water on their peppers before a night of frost. I know this somehow protects the plant but when is the best time to do the watering? Right before it cools off that evening or middle of the night?

Thanks,

Louie

Root Ball

When the grow season is over, is it preferred or preferrable to leave the rootball in-ground or pull the entire plant? Is one way better than the other? Thanks in advance..

Compost reuse

I assume you're reusing your compost every year and just mixing in some amount of new compost. If so, are you just replacing the volume lost by the compost breaking down or are you using a larger amount of new compost?

Pepper fundamentals question

Hey pepper guru! I had a question about the pepper fundamentals. You said always look for a 3-1-2 ratio for the fertilizer, but then you mention balanced (10-10-10) fertilizers. When is the time to use each? I typically feed weekly, but you say feed every watering. Is that every other day for you?

Thank you so much!

Happy pepper plant that was probably planted by a squirrel. Didn't start growing until after I pulled a tomato plant out of the pot. Aji Limon maybe?
