Use these little tricks to get a high-quality and large harvest of zucchini.

The first trick is the location

This crop is very thermophilic, so the place for its cultivation should be on the southern side of the garden bed or in the southwest.

The plant will produce many fruits when its bush is constantly and well warmed.

There are certain requirements for the soil, it must be soft so that air can reach the roots.

An early harvest of zucchini can be obtained if you sow them in advance indoors as seedlings.

You can take regular soil and add a little coconut. First, water it with hot water and leave it to swell well.

Then fill plastic cups half full with it.

Soak the seeds in hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes, then spread them on the soil mixture and sprinkle soil on top. Then cover with a plastic bag and put in a warm place. The seedlings can be planted in the garden in 25 days.

Before planting in the ground, dig up the area, water it with hot water and rake the soil to a depth of five centimeters.

Plant the seedlings and cover them with fertile soil on all sides up to the heptagonal leaf and water them.

Then mulch to prevent crust formation. Remove the first 3-5 ovaries so that the plant can form strong roots. After abundant watering, apply fertilizer. Add 1 cup of wood ash to 1 liter of hot water, add water to 10 liters and water the zucchini with this solution, and water it with plain water on top.

Apply the next fertilizer 7 days after the first.

To do this, take 2 liters of infusion of green grass, which has already fermented, in 10 liters of water. The norm for 1 bush of seedlings is 1 liter of this solution. Then water the plants with clean water.

Feed the squash every 10 days throughout the growing season. Pick young fruits when they are unripe, because they are the tastiest and healthiest.
