Most farmers who grow peppers on raised mulched beds do stake in my area,
yields can excees 2000 bushels an acre, plants need support, even on bare
ground where rotting is more common, use 3' pepper stakes they are the same
as tomato except cut in half, most popular pepper this season is Colossal it
has replaced King Arthur as the biggest fruited type, Colossal seed had been
hogged up by a few farms till now and its finally avaliable for everyone.
Most eggplant is grown without staking, most folks around here grow Florida
Hibush that gets 5' tall with a 2-3"thick stalks that is quite strong.
