rhines, what led you to want to drop Biker Billy? This is my first year trying it. Two years ago, I had Mammoth, and I liked it a lot. I saved a big bowl of seeds and could not get a single one to sprout. By the end, I dumped everything in a pot and nothing came up out of hundreds of seeds. I have no idea why. That's only happened once.
Much Nacho is a great variety, if you are inclined to buy seeds, which I try to avoid.
As far as quantity, I don't think I have more than a 1/4 oz of anything. I usually have access to a lot of peppers in the summer, if I needed to go through a lot of seed to pick out the best.
I process my tomato seeds with Oxy Clean. I never tried it on pepper seeds, but if there is a problem that peroxide will kill, like fungus or mold, then maybe it is a good idea.
