Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

I have several varieties of chillies, they reseed every year.I then rotate to another bed or large pot to which I add compost and old manure, mix well.I then transplant the reseeded plants to the new bed or pot. After that it's water and liquid fertilizer. I'm never short of chillies, I dry them and jalapeno I pickle in vinegar (make your own concoction, add herbs,garlic whatever) They are delicious. So the idea is let some of your chillies fall to the ground and they will germinate when ready. Also if you make a little hot house over your plants they will keep going. I've had them up to three seasons. Enjoy
