Inactive fruiting of cucumbers is caused by a number of factors, and one of the reasons may be hidden in a lack of nutrition.
It is useful to feed cucumbers with potassium and phosphorus, and they will not drop ovaries, which sometimes happens due to a lack of nutrients.
At this time, ash fertilizer, well known to many gardeners, comes to the rescue.
Benefits of feeding cucumbers with ash
Ash fertilizer is the best fertilizer that contains minerals that plants need.
It is most productive to use ash, which has an alkaline base, on acidic soils.
How to apply ash fertilizer correctly
The best option is considered to be application under the root, but foliar treatment will not be superfluous either.
To prepare the fertilizer, mix hot water and ash in a 10-liter bucket, the volume of which is 1/3.
Transfer the solution to a dark place and let it sit for 2-3 days to make the water even more beneficial.
After the procedure, the solution must be passed through a filter, and the finished fertilizer can be used for cucumbers.
Consumption of fertilizer from ash
The greatest effect can be achieved by applying a liter of ash fertilizer under each plant and repeating the fertilizer after 10-14 days.
For which plants can the solution be used?
First of all, water cucumbers that grow in open ground with ash water; the solution can be used to treat the leaves of the plants.
Potatoes, cabbage, beets and tomatoes will like ash fertilizer.
