This is how a YT instructor should operate. Purely thorough information, simple format and well organized. Not to even mention the genius methods that sets this channel far apart in a unique way from the deep pool of subpar channels out there. Can't even believe this is free information! Absolutely amazing work! Very happy I found this channel. Thank you.

You had me at the onions, but when I saw the pepper seeds in banana peels, I liked and subscribed.

Very nice. We in Romania are used to putting two peppers together. They support themselves better when they grow and have a higher production through cross-pollination. Anyway Bravo!!!!

As Food prices increase, many people will find this very useful. Thank you.

you deserve many subscriber my friend. I have been gardening for many years and you teach me new techniques every video.

HE REuses plastic bottles and containers in such a lovely way!!! Really inspiring.

Thank you man. Now can I grow chili without any trouble. Your video is comprehensive and easy. You are the best chili grower on this channel.😊

I conducted an experiment when germinating pepper and eggplant seeds over the past few weeks, following this method. In a nursery flat, I planted one row of each variety in plain soil, followed by a row with banana peel. I covered it for the first week as described in the video. Additionally, I used a heat mat. Results: germination of some varieties was better than others, but overwhelmingly the seeds without banana germinated better. There are only TWO seedlings in the whole tray that germinated in the banana rows. They do look healthy, but so do the other seedlings. I will continue to watch their growth and see how it compares to the non-banana plants. I did do some research prior to the experiment, and there is a scientific basis for this method. I found several research papers that discussed ethylene gas as something that can help break germination in "some plants". Most plants mentioned were not things you would grow in the garden. I also think it's valid that the banana peel would help hold moisture by the seed and offer nutrients to the seedling, so these results were disappointing. Caveats: I used seed packet seed and saved garden seed rather than seeds straight out of a fresh pepper. Overall pepper germination was not great and I'm hoping more might still germinate (one sprouted yesterday) but so far none of the pepper seedlings are from the banana rows. The two banana peel seedlings that sprouted were Black Beauty eggplant, which had 100% germination in the non-banana row. What needs to be fixed about this experiment? Seeds should have been planted in separate trays instead of rows. If it's the ethylene gas that affects germination, then the neighboring rows might have benefited from the gas while something in the banana peel might have directly inhibited the other rows. A follow-up experiment might include 3 trays: one with banana peel, one without, and one with banana on the side but not in contact with seedlings. It is possible my bananas were sprayed with something the seeds didn't like. Maybe washing bananas prior to peeling would be a good idea. It could also be down to climate (high desert, here) or even the variety or freshness of pepper seeds. I'll continue to experiment and suggest anyone else interested does the same and shares their info. The varieties I planted were Black Beauty eggplant, Rosa Bianca eggplant, Neimat's Batir eggplant, Chimayo pepper, Shishito pepper, and Pimento pepper. (The last two usually take a long time to germinate.) All my best to Dr. Obi with many thanks for introducing this interesting method. (It clearly works for you!)

Thank you for sharing this technique! I'm really excited to attempt it for myself very soon. Hopefully I can grow enough chilies to share with my neighbours ❤

Amazing video ! I have the urge to grow my own now

Wow from TANGA Tanzania,v well A2Z explained speaking how to grow chilli's from seed's to harvest!! Supper results ending Love it n got it, amen.

Better gardener than me using recycled bottles! Subscribed and liked sir!!!

Thanks for sharing! These are some awesome first time tips for me to really appreciate, I've seen a lot of gardening on RU-vid...but your unique method of planting, is fantastic! 👍👍👍👍

Not going to lie one of the main reasons I clicked on this is because of how damn well your chilli plants are shaped! That's such a beautiful shape/structure

Brilliant video, excellent explanation of the process and some great tips! Thank you for taking the time to post.

I just found your channel and now I’m binge watching all your videos :) thank you for the information and entertainment Obi!

Hi Dr Obi ... I happened to see your video on planting chillies. Chillies are expensive nowadays n I think I can follow your method. If I'm successful in two months I have a few neighbour's to share my chilli harvest. Thank you so very much for your simple n clear instructions.

Such a nice show,I grow Tabasco peppers here in Florida, I have them year round,was told by a Mexican lady in California years ago to cut the peppers off the plant, believe me it works, have had the same plants for several years now, I cut them back during the winter months and bring them inside on cold nights,egg shells ground up fine is good for peppers too

Thank you Dr, this is one of the best gardening videos I’ve seen. You’ve won my subscription and i look forward to watching many more. I imagine that my conditions in Australia will suit this method also.

You did a fantastic job sir. The banana peel is the ticket to promote initial growth from the nutrients found in the peel!

I love how you use basic throw away items to grow your food, totally awesome and inspring ;)

Great process for pepper growing - going to give it a shot in a couple months.

Dr obi you are the star wars hero of gardening. ...applause...

I just found you today but I love your work already, God richly bless you Sir🙌🙏

A simple but a useful tips... Thank you i try it on my chilli seed.. And plant again

love your reuse of bottles and water containers

Great video! Very informative. Living in the midwest USA, I never would have thought of, or known about starting seeds on banana peels. Also, starting the seeds in recycled bottles is brilliant. You can poke them out by taking off the lid instead of destroying the container. Thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing your method of growing peppers, I will certainly try it.

From S Africa, love the simplicity. Great video, you have given me some great tips. I love growing chillies.

You are great Sir, I really enjoyed all your video, they are very simple to understand.you really mean well for the viewers thanks God bless you. .

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 saving this video for when our planting season begins. Thanks again for such an awesome tutorial.

This is a wonderful video, it encourages me to try planting after many failures 🙏

You know what you are talking about and i like the humble make do with whatever you find around you. Respect.

Very educational video, you should do a short video of the solution you were using to spray your plants and the banana solution in case some people didn't get it.

Thanks for sharing love chillies Dr

BRILLIANT ! I'm doing it this way this year.

This is a good seed starting strategy. Thumbs up from Florida.

I am glad I watched your most interesting video about how to grow pepper so easy and abundantly, thank you.

So glad I came across your video, I love chili 🌶️ peppers and your presentation makes it look very simple and practical as to what containers used in planting and replanting the chilis, thanks a millions….see you new time for sure🙏👏.

Thank you for sharing this lovely video Dr. I love gardening and would definitely try this.

Great video! I love chilies with eggs so simple the way you explain it!!

Oh Wow! I am excited to do this. I buy chili peppers (and bananas) every Friday, but this time I am not going to throw away the seeds and peels. It is winter here, and I am at 5000 feet so there is snow on the ground. I hope this will work indoors. But if a grow light isn't enough, spring will come again. Thank you!

Beautiful stuff, great lesson, I'll be starting my plantation soon. I am inspired an motivated.

I love your videos so much! They are based on biological principles. I used one of your principles in the onion video to propagate K. pinnata plants! Thank you so much!

There will be many happy farmers around here, Doc.🌱 Thx 😁✌️

New technique to sow the seeds using banana peel for embedding .thanks very much doctor .

Not sure what compost slurry is. I am currently trying your technique for several varieties of peppers. Love these ideas and your results!

I will try this amigo and keep you posted. Thank you 🙏

Very informative and well explained how to grow pepper from seed. Keep up the great work.

Amazing. I just used this process to grow some great capsicum i came across. All winter I load up my big raised beds with fish frames and banana peel. The summer growth is thick and lush. Fruiting is massive. I also use a vacuum sealer to seal all my bags. I do it with fish and veggies, Stuff lasts for years. Great to see this, I have liked and subbed. Strangely, I too am in Australia.......

This is awesome. My brother, try planting 2 pepper plants per pot. They actually love growing together. God bless you.

You can also make dried chili flakes from you left-over peppers :) Great video!

I'm on it!!!! thank you so much!

Dr Obi: This is simply marvellous. Forgive the unworthy suspicion that it is a whole lot more tricky & troublesome than you portray, though no doubt well worth the effort, IF one can persevere and succeed.

This gave me the idea to start my seeds in k cups. I usually transplant a couple of times to larger cups anyway. I can cut the bottoms off to push out when before removing. I wish I could find plastic bottles with the wide cap, the water bottles I have won't stand with the small cap. With the 9 and 6 hole trays, sometimes I'd have the tray taking space with just 1 or 2 very small seedlings and more than half of the mini tray empty. With the k cups, I can get rid of them as I transplant each.

Love this! I had no idea that the banana peel could help break dormancy. Some chiles take more than a month to germinate under normal conditions, so this could be a huge time saver! What other kinds of seeds does it help to germinate?

Thank you Dr. Obi, for sharing and explaining how to grow chillies at home. The method you showed is very clear, and soon I will begin growing chillies in my garden soon!

I loved your demonstration and now have my chillies

Using a banana peel to help seeds germinate is mad genius. I really will have to give this a try.

This is really impressive and your explanation makes it look so simple. I'll try and replicate this on a larger scale in a few months time. I'm guessing these methods also apply to growing habaneros.

how do you deal with the stupid super tiny insects that look like white dots in the back of the leaves? that's been my biggest issue lately

What great advice and information - well done! Those plants look so healthy. i will try this with jalapenos and Thai chilis that are super expensive here in Canada. Can they not be dried/

I appreciate the full procedure from seedlings ,to harvest time ,watching from the rocky mountains of northern Philippines😊 😊😊(i'm a man)

Your audio is muffled, but otherwise this is a well done video!

Very helpful l love your videos, am planting chillies right now

Hello Dr. What can be used instead of banana peels? I rarely eat banana so I am thinking maybe there is something else I coud use.

I have subscribed long ago on this channel but don't receive notifications regularly. I learned a lot from your videos. I do rewatch regularly anytime I want to plant. Thanks doctor!

I have enjoyed your work and I'm going to put it in practice

Thank you very much sir. Great ideas!!!

I love peppers, and you gave a lot of great information. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for the valuable information. Subbed.

I love your peppers! Thank you

Love it. Big tings a gwan. Love from Africa Brother Dr Obi

Thanks man! I Will try your tips and tricks when the weather is beter here in the Netherlands. I love growing things and making hot sauce. Keep posting video’s please!

great and easy understandable video. thank you very much :)

Your teaching has been so helpful to me, thank you!

Excellent advice! Thanks for your expertise and suggestions

i like the recycling that you did here, bravo!

Great video. Doing my first round of peppers. I'll be following your method

Great lesson! Thanks!

So simple yet so effective

I found that just putting the seeds in the ground and watering was all that I needed to do to grow every variety of peppers that I wanted. (And I am not bothered by the fruit flies seen in this video.)

Awesome video mate, I just planted some habanero and Jalapeño seeds using some old banana peels as in your video. Thank you from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

Suwun Mas..

Awesome video, I'm new to growing chilli peppers and prior to watching this video I never knew about using banana for propagation and fertiliser , keep posting videos my friend

Beautiful chillies well done. My chillies and peppers haven’t done much this year with the U.K. weather, but I will definitely try your hack with the banana peel next year, thank you 👍

Wow what beautiful pepper plants good job

Thanks a lot Dr oboi

I have try your method + heat and working great. it took me 3 day to pope my seed.

you deserve a thumbs up from around the world.

Outstanding! I learned a lot. Thank you for the great presentation.

I really enjoy your videos!! How do you use your peppers? Thank you for sharing.

Love the banana trick. I have come to learn banana and aloe veta are come blessed life giving plants for new geowth.

I was so so so happy to watch your video

Amazing method to grow chillies Big like done 👍 Thank you for sharing 🔔

Wow those plants look amazing

I'm watching from Botswana ,we learn a lot from you, especially with banana peels

always wondered how the banana pepper was invented. now i know, thanks Dr. OBi!

This is Great. In a Bigger Container i would add a couple of scoops of Earth Worms to aerate the Soil that way the Plants would Triple in Size and Production. I Grew up on a 4th of an acre & We Grew Almost everything. I have never Tried the Banana Peel Method. I would put the seeds in the Fridge for a few days before Planting to fool the seeds into thinking it's Spring time. THANKS FOR SHARING !!! I will enjoy watching. I Grow Food for People that can't grow Plants & Teach them How to be Self Sufficient. ☺👌✌🖖🖖🖖

I am growing so many pleats this week, I am so excited about it!!
