Summer residents water cucumbers with water containing this additive and harvest 2 weeks earlier: what is the secret
A juicy and crispy vegetable will appear on the table earlier than your neighbor’s.
Cucumbers begin to bear fruit approximately 50 days after emergence.
However, there is a way to speed up this process by about 30%.
To harvest the first crop two weeks earlier, it is not necessary to flood the garden bed with “chemicals”.
This task can be handled by a folk remedy that is easy to prepare and harmless to plantings and soil.
Place half a kilo of stale bread, which is no longer suitable for food, into a bucket. Add some finely chopped grass and 10 g of dry yeast.
Pour 10 liters of water over all of this and leave to ferment for 2-3 days. Then strain the infusion and dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:5.
The first time, top dressing is applied 10 days after planting in the ground. The second time – during the budding period.
Fertilizer is applied only after watering with regular water. For one plant - 500 ml of infusion, but no more. It is important not to overdo it with fertilizing, otherwise the cucumbers will start to "grow fat".
