I have done that before, using a hand post hole digger, into the clay/gravel under the top soil. Thing is you need a cheat sheet on you so you can remember what to toss in the hole for a particular plant.
I would agree on the calcium deficiency, you can look all of this up on the internet, problem I have is trying to remember it all LOL ! Tomatoes will do the same thing. Too much nitrogen, lots of growth, no flowers.
If I am not mistaken or remember correctly, bell peppers like a rich soil, with lots of organics, eggplant too, and or cucumbers, you can take a wheel barrow of that compost, add what a plant needs for each hole, I've had good luck with that in the past, as the roots, once beyond the topsoil, have nothing of any real content for the plant, unlike say an herb like Oregano, that stuff grows like crazy in the worst soil.
I'm a big fan of thick layers of hay or dried lawn clippings, ( only from lawns that are not sprayed like mine ) keeps the weeds down to nothing, you can walk on it when wet, not get mud loaded into your shoes, and it will keep the area moist a long time, then it all gets worked into the soil at the end.
