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 🙂
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 video…..
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. I’ve seen some people do that. I’m not a fan of doing that unless you have a much longer growing season. Good stuff!
Can you sink the pots if your “earth” is all red sand? I’ve never even seen a worm when I dig. There is literally no soil 😢
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 didn’t have a black thumb like I always thought and anybody can grow food with correct instructions
Wow I can’t imagine what I’d 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. 😊 I think I will try the 2 per hole this year. Good idea. Thank you.😃👍🏼🪱
