I have been growing peppers this way for over a decade. Planting 2 peppers per hole/container and using the sunken containers is an easy way to double your pepper production in a small garden space.
Look at the 5 minute mark of this video for mature sunken container peppers.

Gary, can I use those fragile cages to support Eggplants ?? thanks
Can you do this with grow bags? Good information.
I like how your garden is filled with different types of containers, beds and other ways to plant. Who needs symmetry? lol I'm starting to set up my 21' x 45' garden today at my new house! Can't wait to get plants out of the basement š
I have 4×8' raised beds. How close together do you recommend spacing? I don't have the pots you are demonstrating, but it's s great idea. Thank you!
Since I live at the USA Canada border and sweet peppers are perennials last November I did mound my sweet peppers with soil and also plant covers to protect them from the extreme cold under the raised bed hoops. This is 13 March 24, and today I counted 36 remaining sweet potato plants stems that are still green inside. If there is any growth in the next couple of weeks that would be amazing. Great videoā¦..
Hi there. Do you plant peppers in the same spot each year, so no rotation?
I was expecting you to pinch the tops of your plants. Iāve seen some people do that. Iām not a fan of doing that unless you have a much longer growing season. Good stuff!
Can you sink the pots if your āearthā is all red sand? Iāve never even seen a worm when I dig. There is literally no soil š¢
I'm surprised you don't have a million subscribers already!
This may help with slugs, yes?
You said pant two in each pot, yet you only planted one in the middle of the pot as a demo. Which is it??
What a fantastic idea!!! I may use this to plant some Buschel and Berry berry plants around my back patio! You are such a great teacher, and I really enjoy your channel!
The "sunken" container method really works – as does the double pepper per hole. I've had awesome production doing this and will never go back. Thanks Gary!
Add a screen to the bottom to keep out gophers
Where do you get the pots?
Looks great!
Gary I started watching you and gardening 6y ago. Thank you for simple and easy instructions that showed I didnāt have a black thumb like I always thought and anybody can grow food with correct instructions
Wow I canāt imagine what Iād do with that many peppers! I planted 6 plants last year and had peppers galore. They produced all summer till close to frost!
I had grown 3 pepper plants in a 10 gallon and they produced many pepper pods and i didn't let them grow wild or tall.
I used foxfarm ocean organic soil for almost 20+ yrs in pots with great results. I used fish poo with mixture of seaweed as my manure and feed.
Can you do this in cloth grow bags? We have true hardpan soil 1-4 inches down. It's like concrete bent several tools. Bags or raised beds is our only option. Bags are cheaper.
Sounds like the wood pecker is cheering you on. š I think I will try the 2 per hole this year. Good idea. Thank you.ššš¼šŖ±
