To make the cucumbers better Tied up, I feed them in a special way that Granny told me
Today, in many popular publications, as well as on the Internet, you can see various recommendations, including for growing vegetables.
Personally, I trust the advice of my grandmother, who has lived all her life in a country house and has many years of experience as a gardener. Now I also manage to harvest rich crops of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc.
It is known that in order to obtain a dense cucumber plantation, a number of requirements must be fulfilled, among which:
- correct placement of the beds, relative to adjacent vegetation;
- selection of the required soil composition;
- strengthening the rhizome;
- correct watering;
- loosening the soil;
- help in pollination, etc.
When growing a crispy vegetable, feeding in the form of ash and organic matter is of great importance. As fertilizers, our ancestors used folk remedies, receiving in return greens without signs of chemistry. I still use some recipes from a blood relative.
Humus. Before using the biomaterial, it is stored for at least 6 months. During this time, pathogenic microorganisms and weed seeds that are in it lose their properties and are deprived of the opportunity to harm the garden culture.
The solution is prepared from manure and water in proportion. The liquid should be infused for a week. Then the same water capacity is added and watering is performed. The procedure is carried out carefully so that the mixture does not get on the stems and leaves of the cucumbers. Otherwise, burns may occur.
Ash will help the culture to get enough potassium and resist diseases and harmful insects. The dark mass is scattered under the bushes without touching the plant.
Herbal tincture. It is considered very effective and more affordable. Various weeds are used. The weeds are crushed and placed in a container with warm water. The content should ferment within a week. Before watering, add another 4-5 parts of water to the slurry.
Natural milk. The nutrient product is mixed with water (1: 2) and the crop is watered every one and a half to two weeks, thereby ensuring a good harvest of cucumbers.
To obtain the maximum result of the procedures, the following rules should be observed:
- fertilizers are applied after watering in the evening;
- you should adhere to the specified ratio of ingredients, otherwise the opposite effect is possible.
Another secret: don't wait for the fruits to reach their maximum size. The more often the cucumbers are plucked, the more new ovaries are born.
