Grow organic peppers with urban farming

April, 2015. For this project, Bill used high quality material and he planted two varities in one box (Giant Marconi and Carmen). To stimulate the growth, he added mycorrhizae fungi to the roots. No irrigation,insecticides and fungicides were used. On July 3rd, 3 months after planting, the peppers look healthy. Since May 1st, Bill added every week a half a gallon (2 liters) of water to the box. On June 3rd, 2015, the fruits were ready to get harvested with a total of 24 fruits.
