Green pepper troubles

16 years ago

I have raised beds. That has worked out the best for me although I share the main garden with my dtr-in-law. I like the organic way in the raised beds. I do not like any kind of spraying. She takes care of the main garden. I planted several green peppers. They were just starting to form the peppers. We have had rain for days here in the Midwest--not just a little bit but a lot. My peppers are looking sick and I think it is due to the excessive moisture. Is there anything I can use that would counter-act this--I do not have available natural compost. Just don't seem to be able to make enough to keep up. Have tried to add a soil that has a mixture of humus and manure. I have never had trouble with the peppers. Is there a special disease which could be the culprit? I saw slugs in one of the raised beds, but they usually don't attack green peppers, do they? Thanks anybody. - Barb
