Can you plant different chillies together?

Chillies grow very well in containers – but they do have some specific needs. To discover the ‘tricks of the trade’, I met up with (and filmed) professional chilli grower, Steve Waters. Few other plants can match chillies for ‘flavour for space’ ratio. One plant will often give you a hundred chillies or more.
