Any time you want to discuss peppers. I am new to Aquaponics, but have a background in aquaculture and fish and wildlife management. Just recently started bottling our own hot pepper products and I have been growing hot peppers most of my life. Always good to share tips and stories with others.
Bobby, sorry for the delayed reply. I have been out and about. My only tips is to wash it, but gathering from your pictures this is a mute point.
Hi Bobby,
Thanks for friending me!
My project is coming along. It is something I'm doing on the side and is not a commercial operation, but it is the biggest backyard setup I have seen.
Here is a link to some photos if you would like to see it: http://homesteadaquaponics.com/pictures.php
Thanks,
Josiah
