We bought four Pepper plants from Fred-Meyer's yesterday (three Bell Pepper, one Corno di Toro), and I planted one of the Bell Pepper plants in my Raised-Garden. I didnt feel i had to, but I dug about 9 inches deep and lightly sprinkled some Jobes-Organics All Purpose Fertilizer (4-4-4), watered, filled the hole a few inches, and dusted Dolomite, worked that into the soil, then filled the hole. Next I dug the hole back up to the depth I needed (about 6 inches) and put in the Pepper plant.
