Gardeners now have a great opportunity to do a good deed if suddenly their neighbors in the gardening community for some reason have a poor zucchini harvest.

This unpretentious crop bears fruit quite well with minimal care. And if you resort to agricultural tricks, the harvest will simply be overwhelming.

We'll tell you what experienced gardeners add to the hole when planting zucchini.

Usually, zucchini is sown with seeds after the threat of recurrent spring frosts has passed and the soil has warmed up thoroughly.

But even if you grow the crop using the seedling method, this option will still be useful.

Add this fertilizer and you can share the harvest with your neighbors.

How to proceed

The most important thing is that you don’t have to buy anything in the store.

To prepare the nutrient mixture you will need wood ash and humus (compost).

For one hole, you need to mix one tablespoon of ash with two tablespoons of humus (compost).

The prepared composition is placed on the bottom of the planting hole.

If you plant zucchini seedlings, you need to monitor the planting depth. The seedling needs to be deepened into the soil to the cotyledon leaves.
