LOL how much is "a lil bit"? Be more specific, will ya?

It's OK to plant peppers 1/2 inch deeper. I would definitely plant 1/4 inch deeper. 1 inch deeper is pushing it especially if the potting mix is heavy and moisture holding, but if the potting mix contains extra sand or perlite then it should be OK.
