I've never had much luck with peppers. The rest of my garden plants are doing well in the same soil, but the pepper plants always look yellow and stunted. The plants just don't do well and this has been the same situation for several years. There's no sign of bugs or virus, the plants are just yellow looking and not growing well. This leads me to believe that they need something additional.

I didn't do a soil test this year, but we did add quite a bit of compost with sheep manure and some mushroom compost also. I would have thought that would have helped, and it did seem to help the rest of the garden plants, but not the peppers.

Any ideas?
