Many summer residents prefer to plant cucumbers, as this vegetable is extremely beneficial for health.
The gardener naturally strives to achieve a better harvest and makes attempts to improve the soil for the crop.
After all, it is the soil that is the source of nutrition for cucumbers and all crops in the garden.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding improving the yield of cucumbers.
How can you help cucumbers?
It is important to understand that the root system of this crop does not develop in depth, and therefore the cucumber cannot absorb nutrients from the deep layers of the soil.
The delivery and creation of nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and nitrogen falls on green manure.
The best predecessors are legumes, cereals and cruciferous crops.
For example, you can plant peas, clover, lupine, barley, oats, rape, mustard and rape. All you have to do is choose the right time for planting and wait until the tasty cucumbers grow.
