We want fresh homemade cucumbers to stay on our table for as long as possible.
To do this, you need to take care of the plants throughout the season.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we will figure out what kind of fertilizers cucumbers need.
How to feed cucumbers
First of all, cucumbers need to be fed with calcium nitrate. This fertilizer will help the plants not to get sick and bloom well.
Dilute 1 teaspoon of fertilizer in 10 liters of water and water the plants at the roots, then water them.
To increase the number of ovaries and improve fruiting, add 30 drops of iodine to 10 liters of water. Mix the solution thoroughly and water the cucumbers.
And another necessary action for prolonging fruiting is the introduction of boron. It is enough to dissolve half a teaspoon in 10 liters of water and spray the cucumbers to enjoy delicious fruits until October.
Earlier we wrote about how to feed tomatoes if the leaves are drying out.
