I really want the bell pepper to grow large, fleshy and juicy, but sometimes the opposite happens – the fruits grow with thin walls and are not juicy at all.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist agronomist and landscape designer, told how to collect a rich harvest of tasty and juicy peppers.
Soil and crop rotation
Peppers need loose and well-fertilized soil. Therefore, the beds are prepared in advance for planting seedlings.
You need to dig up the soil and add compost, humus and a little ash.
It is best to plant peppers where beans, onions or carrots were previously grown.
Fertilizers and watering
Peppers need moisture, but watering should be regular and moderate.
Warm water must be used, and this crop is watered between the rows.
It is also important to mulch the pepper beds, which will help retain moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing.
Nitrogen fertilizers are applied during the seedling growth period.
Potassium and phosphorus during flowering and fruiting.
To strengthen seedlings, summer residents use various stimulants.
Trimming
Not only the lower branches are cut off, but also weak shoots. It is important that 2-3 strong stems remain on the bush.
Pruning helps direct energy toward growth and fruit ripening.
To get a rich harvest of peppers, you need to pay attention to growing seedlings and preparing the beds for transplanting, and also follow these simple tips.
