Cucumbers growing in a “hook” shape are unlikely to please a summer resident who is engaged in caring for a garden crop.

In addition to an unsightly appearance, the fruits may also acquire a not very pleasant taste.

Of course, one can say that the reason for the failure could have been unfavorable weather conditions.

But still, in most cases the gardener himself is to blame.

Most likely, the owner of the country house did not replenish the deficiency of nutrients in the soil or watered the plant incorrectly.

How to solve the problem

You can make sure that your vegetables are even by adding certain fertilizers.

A potassium mixture will come to the rescue; its preparation is not difficult, reports TUT NEWS .

You need to take a bucket, pour half a liter of unburned wood waste into it and fill this mass with clean water until the container is completely filled.

After 24 hours, you will have an ash infusion that should be used as fertilizer for cucumbers.

Each cucumber bush should receive one liter of the prepared liquid.

It is also worth adding other "organic matter" to the soil. For example, herbal infusion and an aqueous solution prepared on the basis of cow manure.

If the plant does not face a lack of potassium and nitrogen, the cucumbers will grow smooth and tasty. There will not be even a hint of bitterness.
