You need to take warm water and pour it into a bucket. Pour sifted ash there and stir the mixture. Ash is provided for more than the norm (usually 1 glass of substance is required per bucket of water), but this will not harm the plant, since a lot is needed during the period of fruit formation.
It is necessary to let the ash stand for 24 hours. Then water the plants at the rate of 1 liter per plant. Before feeding, you need to moisten the soil so that the roots actively absorb nutrients.
Ash contains all the nutrients, including potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, which are needed during the fruiting period of cucumbers. It is important that this natural mineral fertilizer does not contain nitrogen, which is not needed during the formation of fruits.
Nitrogen fertilizers contribute to the development of green mass, and in case of an overdose, the plants can tighten with the flowering and fruiting period. After feeding with ash, the greens will quickly grow and ripen actively.
