To surprise cucumbers with a rich harvest, it is not necessary to feed them with expensive fertilizers.
You can prepare the nutritious fertilizer yourself. It can be used both in a greenhouse and in open ground.
Experienced gardeners, in addition to standard fertilizers, use regular milk.
The product is rich in potassium, the content of which ranges from 135 to 170 mg per 100 g of milk. In addition, milk promotes the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
To prepare the feed, milk is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:5. The product is not used in its pure form.
The first time cucumbers are fertilized before the beginning of fruiting. The plants are watered 2 times a month. As a result, the yield increases approximately 2 times.
