The main rules for growing zucchini: how to feed and care for them to get a good harvest

After the zucchini sprouts appear, it is necessary to carefully weed and loosen the soil around the plants.

From the moment the first ovaries appear, it is necessary to water the plants regularly to ensure the active formation of a large number of new fruits and their rapid ripening.

Feeding zucchini

Watering alone is not enough to ensure a bountiful harvest, as plants need nutrients to have the strength to produce the maximum amount of fruit, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

You should start fertilizing with nitrogen after the first two leaves appear. To do this, prepare an infusion of manure in a ratio of 1:10 or bird droppings in a ratio of 1:20.

After fertilizing, leave the zucchini alone for a week, and then water with the same fertilizer, diluted in a ratio of 1 liter of infusion per 10 liters of water. After 2 weeks, feed the zucchini with green fertilizer or ash.

Additional care measures for zucchini

In addition to the basic rules for growing zucchini, the plants need to be tied up periodically and the soil underneath them needs to be mulched to retain moisture, especially in hot weather.

This way you can provide good care for your zucchini and get a bountiful harvest. Follow these recommendations and your zucchini will be healthy and fruitful.
