Happy in Boldog



In the village Boldog (Hungarian for happy) we met small, medium, and large scale pepper growers and again we learned a lot.





For early spring outdoor bed planting a “Dutch Bed” is useful.
The bed is built on top of 40 cm manure where you put a frame.
Fill the frame with another 20 cm clayish soil.

Use the plate to make 1 cm rows

Sow the rows

Cover the rows with 1 cm soil and water.
Cover the bed and it will be warmed up from both the sun and the manure.

The large scale grower told us about the problems in the pepper industry
But also how to prune the plants.
You leave the best stem to continue to grow. Cut off blades and flowers not required.


Shortage of magnesium when planted causes the yellow spots.
