Cultivating pepper spice on a maize farm

HELLO HIVE

A widely used spice that is common in so many parts of the world pepper place a huge role in cooking and even medicine depending on how the region wants to use it, it is known for its biting flavor which actually makes it an essential cuisines, it can be easily cultivated at home and i the garden. Cultivating it requires good planning with the selection of sites and soil preparation an important need for it to thrive.

For a plant that prefers well draining soil with a with moderately drained soil with good nutrient level it will take sometime to get a land that will fit this plant to some extent but it thrives on lands where maize plant it cultivated because their needs are closely similar only that the nutritional need of pepper is slightly higher. Farmers make up for this by adding organic manure to it, for some reason I am not a fan of using inorganic fertilizer on pepper because it has left some damages on the pepper I had cultivated at some point in time.

I planted some pepper inside my maize farm by increasing the spaces in between each maize hole to ensure that the space is enough, the land needed for both plants is closely similar so they can both manage but I had to make up for the nutritional need by adding manure once in a while.

The pepper is already producing and the pepper producing level hasn't hit pace yet but it will with time because that's how pepper spice production works.
