My daughter's final crop from her garden. She used the "expensive" soil. I am stingy so I did not LOL. We had a competition after I introduced her to gardening this year and to say I lost to her would be an understatement! She had a lot of peppers.
Wish me better luck next season!

Those look fantastic! To get the best and largest fruit, you need nice loose-draining soil with plenty of readily available nutrition. You also need to water regularly, and space the plants wide enough apart so they don’t compete with each other. You also need as much sun as possible (unless you live in a super hot climate). Good luck next year!
It could be alot of things- but quite possibly. Did you look at the nutrient info and content of your soil and compare it to what you were growing is best suited for? The fact the soil is more expensive could mean it was better suited- but it also mjght mean nothing
It’s the fertility of the soil.
Looks fantastic! Congrats!
Perhaps next year you can post at the start of the competition and then at regular intervals so the whole sub can read it like sports news š
If you want serious answers to your question, you need to provide more information. āshe used expensive soilā doesnāt tell us much, is it organic potting soil? organic top soil? in raised beds or pots? what did you use? were they in ground, raised beds or pots? regular top soil or? soil plays a factor in growth and production but so do a lot of other factors. Did she fertilize regularly and you didnāt? Did you water less than she did? All those can factor in as well.
Mightve also just been luck. All plants produce differently even in basically the same conditions. If u dont have an entire field its mostly luck and how you nurse it
