    Your suppose to fertilize sweet peppers when they are seeds. Soil preparation is the most important. after they start use organic matter to fertilizer and retain moisture. Soil preparation for peppers is generally the same as tomatoes, although peppers take up less amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Well drained, friable soil with a pH between 6.5 to 7.5 is optimum for production. Soils below 6.0 should be limed to raise the pH before planting.
