No one will doubt that without proper care it is unlikely that you will be able to get a good harvest, including cucumbers.

If you are determined to pick a lot of juicy and crunchy cucumbers from your garden beds, don’t forget to feed them.

Fertilizer prepared on the basis of bread sourdough will help you.

To do this, fill the bucket two-thirds full with sliced crusts of black bread and add water.

Don't forget to close the container with a lid, place a weight on top and send the future base for the nutrient solution to a warm place for a week.
