Well, we didn't really intend to fill the last foot and a half with chilis, but we had this space left over, and it was $0.99 for a 4" pot of one pepper, or $1.99 for six chilis...

We will make chili, dry chilis, use them to dip in hmumus and other dips, stir-fry them, have them in fajitas and sketti sauce and thai...

We use 2 - 3 peppers (bell, mostly) a week anyway; we really like peppers.

Low-fertilizer... not so much of it as we could, only about once a month

It's not the extra effort so much as the pest problem and thus cost to get a pest-free compost bin.
