Pepper Guru 637 Posted June 1, 2019 Hello Everyone! I was referred here by a friend, so I thought I'd sign up. My name is Rich and I've been growing peppers since 1996. Around that time, my father was teaching me about Bonsai and had me helping him build Japanese water gardens. I got into peppers originally by him daring me to try all the new varieties he would find. I tasted my first C. Chinense a few years later and that flavor made me want to learn more about how to grow them. Since that time, I've been studying and learning about soil biology and its direct roll in producing the healthiest plants possible. Over the years, I've been admin on a few different grow forums and have kept on going grow logs on those forums. Now I travel the world in search of new, rare and exciting pepper varieties. I also love photography and film making, so I've started a youtube channel as well to document all my adventures and grow seasons! Hope to be able to share and learn from everyone here. Thanks, Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
