Thanks Chelle I'll check that out! Not sure if the stunted one is lower, I'll go check tonight. It hasn't been wet actually somewhat dry but I have an irrigation running on it every other day if it isn't raining. It probably has too much bark like soil. I've been adding in vermiculite slowly (the white stuff in those pics) to make drainage a little better. I bought some organic garden soil when I made this bed and it turned out to be primarily bark like. I added a lot of topsoil in there as well as the compost and manure guess I didn't get the ratios right. Sad about your pepper plants! Hopefully they pop up very soon.
