Good fertilizer for cucumbers in July-August: after watering you won't have time to pick the fruits
What to use for feeding cucumbers in July? Even experienced gardeners ask themselves this question.
It is in this month that active growth of fruits begins, and therefore the plant spends a lot of energy on providing juice to the growing cucumbers.
This vegetable reacts quite sharply to feeding, and therefore it is important to choose the right “nutrition”.
First of all, it is recommended to provide cucumbers with ash, which is applied in July 2 times with an interval of 2 weeks. This fertilizer saturates the plant with potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
Next, you need to know that cucumbers want to get as much potassium and nitrogen as possible, but you should not add calcium sulfate.
It is better to add ecopotassium, which is created from sunflower stems. It contains potassium, sulfur, magnesium and a little phosphorus.
It is enough to put two teaspoons under each plant 2 times in July.
And the main fertilizer is an infusion of cow, horse or chicken manure.
Dilute a liter of infusion into 10 liters and add 2 liters under each plant once a week.
