Yes, peppers grow fine in the same mix as tomatoes. I have seen the website where they say never, ever use peat and I call balderdash on that. I've grown them successfully in peat plugs, jiffy potting mix and pro-mix which are all peat based and have never had issues. There is also a lot of other contradicting and mis- information on that same web site, but I won't critique it.
