Earthbox mfg. recommend 6 peppers per box. If memory serves me correctly the EB holds approx. 14 gal of media.. I personally think 6 is too much. I have tried it. Four works better, and two works even better, as far as size of plant and production.
I am planning of 4 per box this year to check again. Last year I planted 2 Cal. Wonder peppers in a 15 gal pot. They grew well and were pretty productive.
But then again, I feel that two tomato plants (except for dwarfs) is too much for one Earthbox, but many disagree with me.
