Chili Pepper Leaves

The leaves and stems of chili pepper plants are used in many dishes, with gochu-nip kimchi, gochu-nip namul being common.
Chili plants are fairly easy to grow. Start them in-doors about two weeks before the last frost is expected.
Prepare the in ground soil by mixing a good compost or steer manure with garden soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Make sure the planting area is in full sun.
For garden boxes you can mix clean topsoil with compost and a quality garden/potting soil.
(For our soil we mixed vegetable compost, egg shells, coffee grounds, and potting soil)
When transplanting make sure to space the plants at least 18 inches apart.
Water frequently but due not over soak the soil. Keep the soil moist and do not let it dry out.
