    Actually, most of your garden veggies do enjoy slightly acidic soil. For peppers, they like a pH that is neutral to slightly acidic. It is best to have your soil tested or just test the pH levels and go from there. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/soil-ph-plants.htm

    Note: Peppers are similar the pH levels of tomatoes.

    Thin walled peppers usually dry easily by just being left to air dry in a single layer in a well-ventilated spot.

    If your peppers have been in a dehydrator for a few days, I'd check the temperature with a thermometer to make sure the machine is working properly. Ghost peppers should be dry in just a few hours.

    Unfortunately, it sounds like bacterial leaf spot. There is not much you can do once it sets in. This article has more information:
