Experienced summer residents and gardeners have probably encountered a phenomenon when in the middle of summer there is practically nowhere to put cucumbers.
However, literally a couple of weeks pass, and only overripe giants remain in the beds.
However, there are a couple of tricks to extend fruiting until the end of September.
3 Favorite Fertilizers
Let's start with the fact that cucumbers stop forming new ovaries when you stop picking them. Regular picking of fruits forces the plant to continue to bear fruit.
However, this is not the only way to cope with the aging of plants. The older the cucumbers become, the more nutrients they need.
Therefore, in August they are necessarily fed with three favorite cucumber fertilizers.
Once a week, plants should be fed with an ash infusion, alternating it with an infusion of granulated chicken manure (1 liter of granules should be diluted with 1 liter of hot water and diluted with 40 liters of water). These fertilizers are applied under the root.
The third feeding is foliar application of a urea solution. To prepare it, you will need 1 matchbox of the product diluted in 10 liters of water. This feeding is applied once every 10 days.
