Seat selection
Important in choosing a place for planting zucchini adhere to the following recommendations:
· Ideal predecessors in the garden will be crops such as: potatoes, tomatoes, beets, cabbage, greens, onions, legumes;
· Do not plant zucchini in the beds where crops belonging to the pumpkin family grew.
· In the same place, you can grow zucchini no earlier than after 5 years.
The right zucchini hole
I always make the holes for planting zucchini deep, about 40 cm in length. This is due to the fact that when planting, I put everything necessary for the growth and development of the plant into the planting hole, and as a result, the planting material will be far from the bottom.
The first layer I put in the weeds, while the weeds should not be fresh, but slightly withered, and also chopped into pieces. Next, I place a handful of compost on top of the weeds, which I distribute evenly over the hole.
The next layer is wood ash, also in the amount of 1 handful. Next, I water the planting hole well with its contents with settled water and pour a layer of soil into the hole, which should be about 5-7 cm, since in Otherwise, there will be a direct interaction of the roots of squash with fermented weeds and compost, which will lead to the death of the root system plants.
When planting zucchini seeds or their seedlings, I again water the soil abundantly, while I do not fill the planting material with soil. Instead of soil, I use mulch, which is usually dry grass.
Mulch will protect the zucchini from drying out, provide shade and prevent the possible influence of pathogenic microorganisms.
Planting zucchini using my technology will provide the plant with all the nutrients it needs, which will allow you to get an excellent harvest of this vegetable crop.
