Market Farming

[Art Petrzelka <art AT complum.com>]

I'm having problems getting bell peppers and sweet peppers started this year. 
They sprout, get about an inch high, develop the first set of true leaves, 
then I find them short, like they were pinched off. Two were looking like 
they were nibbled, but they finally succumbed, too.

I'm using Premier Pro-Mix with pine bark. Would that be too acid or too rich 
for peppers?  The tomatoes and herbs are doing great. Only the peppers are 
dying like this. Once in a while I see tiny bits of the tops laying in the 
soil, but usually it disappears. They're growing indoors with grow-lights and 
sufficient water.

I'm planning on starting peppers AGAIN using a non-organic potting mix and 
see 
if that cuts off my complusive pepper seed buying binges......
