5-10 gallons has worked for me for peppers.

Pro-Mix is great soil. I do add about 10% shredded pine bark and 10% compost. Then I add 2/3 cup of slow-release fertilizer like TomatoTone or GardenTone, as well as dolomitic lime to nip BER in the bud.

Because of the effect of water flushing nutrients out of the soil, plan on feeding your peppers right around the time of their heaviest fruitset.
