There are many ways to quickly and effectively increase the cucumber harvest.

Experienced gardeners especially like natural methods, since any person wants to use less “chemicals”.

In this case, you need to pay attention to the method based on the use of nettles, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.

What trick should summer residents know about?

It is important to remember that cucumbers respond very positively to a special nettle infusion. Since it will take quite a long time to prepare, it is better to start preparing in advance.

First, you need to collect a kilogram of fresh nettles and chop them with a shovel or an axe. Then pour ten liters of settled warm water into the container. It should be preheated in the sun.
