How to produce 1000 pounds of Scotch bonnet peppers per week

The video shows nine rows of peppers planted two feet apart in both directions. Each row contains about 100 peppers. they produce 200 to 250 pounds of peppers each week.

Great work!!! I planted 3k peppers before, they never got that big, but it is a lot of work.

I am enjoying your video for a number of reasons 1. How you communicate 2. How you educate 3. Lastly, the myth that farmers are people who never went to school and can't do anything else but til the soil. Thank you. I'm definitely a new fan, but you're planting my favorite pepper.
