When transplanting seedlings into the soil, it is necessary to ensure that the fragile plants receive the necessary nutrition.

Experienced gardeners put nettles in the hole for this purpose.

As a result, the soil becomes more fertile, and vegetables receive the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals.

In addition, such weeds do not attract pests. It should be taken into account that nettles, when they rot, provide a slight warming, which means that this will save the seedlings in the first days, when the temperature outside can be unstable.

First, you should chop up the nettles, and only then can you put them in the holes, and then water them generously. You will have to pour 2 glasses of water into each hole.

Instead of regular clean water, you can use 0.5 liters of nettle infusion to enhance the effect.

The preparation of the remedy is very simple. To do this, you need to fill the weed with water and leave it for a week.

You should also sprinkle it with soil on top so as not to burn the fragile roots of cucumbers. After this, you can proceed to planting.

As soon as the cucumbers are planted, they need to be watered, mulched with dry soil and left alone for 5 days.
