i overwintered some chillies, naga, bolivian rainbow, scotch bonnet and apache , they were growing great and were kept at work until about a month ago when i put them into my polytunnel , but some some reason since i moved them they have stopped growing it looks like they haven't grown at all in the last month.
there was a bit of a cold spell when i first put them in there but surely they should have picked up by now, they were all put into bigger pots with fresh manure, any ideas ? :)
Do you usually use that amount of 'fresh' manure for peppers?
If it usually works then you probably don't use much more than a few percent in the mix. If you do use more and it still works then the manure probably isn't 'fresh' in the sense that most gardeners would understand - more likely it is actually well rotted ie. it is over 12 months since it last saw the wrong end of a horse...
If this is the first time you have used significant quantities of genuinely fresh manure then the answer is simple - you've burned all the root hairs off your plants and they may not survive - even if you immediately transplant them into rooting compost and cross all your extremities...
Whoops!
my mistake it's meant to read fresh compost not manure, there is a bit of manure at the bottom of the pot but it's well rotted and the same stuff i used last year with great success, the plants look healthy enough there are just not growing.
