Pepper is one of the crops I used to be scared to plant because of how it used to pepper my hand those days I used to cook with my mother in our kitchen. As I began to grow, looking at the society where I was born and raised we have always known for agriculture and again looking a the cost of vegetables and other edible crops in the market it became an obligation for me to go into the planting of pepper. Because of where I am currently living there is not much land for me to plant some of the crops like pepper so I remember those days I farm with my mother I learned bags can help for agricultural planting where there limited land farming space.
Pepper is also good to our body system as it contribute vitamin K and others. The problem with people is that they abuse the use of pepper for their cooking and this turns to be harmful especially to those who are suffering from stomach pains like ulcers. The use of pepper should be minimal so we can get what our body want.
I considered how things are costly in the market and the health benefits of using fresh pepper for cooking to engage myself in planting pepper in the compound where I am living. Fresh pepper has a good taste in food like anytime I want to cook stem or pepper soup I used to prefer fresh pepper because it used to bring out the real taste of the food. I used to be very careful with my hands any time I finished cutting pepper to avoid entering my eyes so anytime I finished I used to wash my hands with soap and I used to add salt to it so that the hotness of the pepper will easily washed off.
To plant pepper with a bag I used to ensure that the seed of the pepper to plant are okay so they can germinate. For some times now in agriculture I have observed the reason some crops don't grow is because the seeds was not good. Not all seeds of pepper planted used to grow and I used to prefer the spraying enough pepper seed on soil so those will grow can cover.
For the sake of planting pepper with a bag I used to spray many seeds on the soil inside the bag and anytime those seed germinate I used to uproot many so that the bag can have space to grow only own. Bags are not known with enough space so the planting is to be limited.
I make sure I don't place the bag where I planted pepper under the sun because sun kills pepper when the weather becomes too much hot. Another advantage I have planting pepper in my compound is that people can not harvest them when they ripe meaning I watch over them everyday.
Planting pepper with a bag I used to ensure I maintain the water supply so the soil don't over dry the water and to help the pepper growing.
We are in harmattan already so new peppers used to be planted but with steady water supply for it. I'm this season old ones seeds are preserved and used to plant the new one.
