[quote=PR-Giants;255167]Using an excess of compost / organic material instead of fertilizers, can substantially reduce the time from plant to bloom.
Plants grow faster, larger, produce heavier bunches and have more flavorful fruit by using copious amounts of compost.

I have to have my organics trucked in ...my yard does not produce enough compost, plus it only produces it 120 days of the year.
Your fortunate with the resources that you have available to you.
I am working on bigger bunches this year....this year maybe five fingers.

How do the variegated plants like it.. are you able to post a photo....?
