"plenty of water and fertilizer"
What are you using for fertilizer?
Down there I'd of thought that you would need to water a lot if plants 
were in containers. If you were using water soluble fertilizer: would 
you add the fertilizer once a week, or every time that you watered? How 
often do you need to water peppers in containers down there?
I don't want to start another thread about stressing out peppers, but 
putting down a bed of "rock mulch will steady out the moisture in the 
soil" doesn't this seem as if it would dry them out faster? In that case 
you would be watering more and also fertilizing them too?
