Subject: [Market-farming] low fruit production in peppers and eggplants?

During the 2011 and 2012 seasons I had low fruit production from my peppers and especially my eggplants. I am wondering if this may be due to the application of organic granular fertilizer (5,3,4) to these beds. I applied a handful of fertilizer to each plant when planting and again when fruit production started. My farm is in upstate NY - zone 5.

Thanks for your ideas,

Mike

We have farm/home property and liability, umbrella liability, and vehicle though them (and they know the vehicles are used commercially). One of the first things I did when starting to farm was switch auto insurance to Farm Family for business use coverage.

If I remember the explanation correctly, with just the one, someone could go after our retirement assets, but if we have a multi-person (put daughter on as 1%), with the property and house in that one, it would protect that. Of course, that means paying to set up two LLCs rather than the one, and going from none to two. But, I have retirement assets from previous worklife to protect, and the property/house is paid for so is an asset.
