Thus, the plant will “react” normally to both chicken manure and urea.

It is also worth trying non-standard feeding options. For example, bread sourdough.

Watering correctly

Water used for watering garden crops should never be cold. The normal temperature of the liquid is 25 degrees.

Sometimes you can add a little milk to the water. For a bucket of clean liquid - 250 milliliters of white drink. Using the resulting solution will make the chances of getting a rich cucumber harvest very high.

The right "neighbor"

It is advisable to plant dill next to cucumbers. Greens have a great effect on vegetable crops.

Protection from drafts

If cucumbers are grown in a greenhouse, there should be no through air flow in the room.

Therefore, ventilation of the greenhouse must be carried out in such a way as not to harm the plant.

Accelerate the ripening of fruits

It is desirable that there be more carbon dioxide in the air in the greenhouse: this compound promotes faster formation and development of cucumbers on the bushes.

A barrel of cow manure placed in the room will help make the air composition in the greenhouse “correct”.
