Both beginners and experienced gardeners are concerned about the same question: how to fertilize cucumbers so that they produce a first-class harvest?

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about cucumber "favorites" among fertilizers.

The best choice would be to use organic compounds such as peat, compost or rotted manure.

You will have to start preparing a fertile bed in the fall or do it in the spring, adding 1-2 buckets of organic matter for each “square” of land.

If you only have fresh manure at your disposal, then it should, of course, be used only in the autumn months.

During the decomposition process, it will “saturate” the soil with carbon dioxide, thereby significantly improving its quality, which will certainly have a beneficial effect on the fruiting of vegetable crops.

In addition, you can also use azophoska and wood ash.

In this case, you will need 2 cups of wood ash and 3 tablespoons of azophoska per square meter, after which the beds must be dug up.
