3 Ways I’m Growing Peppers This Year (Which Works Best?)

Hey y’all! 🌱 In today’s video on Laid-Back Homestead, I’m finally getting all of my peppers planted out—but this year I’m doing things a little differently. Instead of sticking to just one method, I’m growing peppers three different ways: in raised beds, in self-watering buckets, and hydroponically. Each method has its own benefits, and I’m excited to see which one performs best and delivers the biggest harvest by the end of the season. Along the way, I’ll walk you through my planting process, how I prep each setup, and why these methods work well in a hot climate like mine. I’m also adding in some flowers to bring in pollinators and setting up my hummingbird feeder to help support the garden ecosystem. I’d love to hear from you—what’s your most reliable bell pepper variety?
