What kind of soil/mix/nutrients/fertilizer do you use? When I use straight store bought potting soil my plants never seem to thrive.

Cheap potting soil and bagged compost + cow manure mix from the box store blended up. Used Garden-tone fertilizer down by the roots.

I trusted the store bought stuff thinking that it would have enough nutrients, but it obviously doesnโ€™t. I would have thought a mix like yours would be to โ€œhotโ€ but your plants look better than mine so Iโ€™m going to try and mix some of my own. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks! Before you copy it I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. My first growing season has been a exercise in what not to do.

The compost comes in a bright yellow bag with a cow on it. It seems to work pretty good but looks grainy. I just mix it with regular potting soil to give it some bite and to make it more soil like. Just eye balling it based on texture. If I am doing it right or wrong I have no idea but sprouted these peppers from seed so I am proud of them.
