>>2576555These plants look really small to be fruiting. Are you sure they're not just stressed? Anyway, it seems obvious to me that this method only works with strawberries because you can pretty much grow them in any direction. You sure as hell cannot grow peppers let alone 8 feet tall corn stalks out of hole from the side of a bucket. They grow vertically and need a lot of space. You couldn't get one to germinate in your strawberry planter because light doesnt get into those holes and if you were to transplant a seedling in there it'd stick out sideways for starters, and it'd probably get all twisted trying right itself while it grows towards the light. Pic related is a better and more versatile type of vertical planter. Although it's probably still too small for peppers. Corn can only be grown in large containers for obvious reasons.
