Every summer resident has his own signs when planting cucumbers. If there is no experience, then there are no signs, and then you have to entrust the fate of the harvest to other people's advice.
Here is some advice that experienced gardeners willingly share in this case. They say that if you do everything as written, the harvest will be unprecedented.
Landing rules
There are not many nuances. It is important to remember what cucumbers like and what they do not like. First of all, they need space, so furrows for sowing are marked at a distance of 70 centimeters from each other.
The furrows themselves should not be deeper than 4 cm, and the seeds are distributed in them at intervals of 10 cm.
Before sowing the seeds, the furrows are watered with warm water; after sowing, the watering is repeated.
It is also important to remember that cucumbers need a lot of sun, a lot of moisture and little wind.
They will not grow in acidic soil, like most vegetable crops, and cucumbers also love loose and light soil.
Fertilizers
Summer residents have long noticed that if you pour wood ash into holes or furrows, cucumbers grow and bear fruit more readily. Nitroammophoska is also used.
When to sow
Cucumbers are heat-loving and are often grown in greenhouses or hotbeds. Seeds are planted in open ground only after the threat of frost has passed. In this regard, it is necessary to take into account the climatic features of the region.
