Many people mistakenly believe that pumpkin does not need any attention from the gardener, since it can grow on its own without much effort.

On the one hand, this statement is true.

However, the crop, left to its own devices, rarely grows large, sweet and juicy, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

What tricks are worth paying attention to?

Ash

This component will help the pumpkin to actively develop and give an excellent harvest. You will need to take about half a glass of ash per ten liters of water.
