When space is at a premium, and you yearn for a novel way to cultivate chili peppers, turning to the innovative technique of growing peppers upside down in grocery bags could be the answer.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process, from preparing the bags and support structure to selecting the right soil and fertilizers for optimal growth.
Materials and Tools Needed:
