What distance should be left between cucumbers when grown in open ground: exact values are named
The process of growing cucumbers in open ground can be compared to a math lesson, because it also requires certain knowledge and skills from the gardener - for example, knowledge of the correct distance between plants.
If you don’t want to feel like a loser who was called to the board, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
According to the specialist, it goes without saying that the cucumber planting pattern is directly dependent on the conditions that exist in a given specific area.
Based on this, the summer resident independently decides where to place this crop - in a garden bed, in a barrel, on a high bed or on a compost heap.
The next parameter that should also be taken into account is the method of growing cucumbers.
It is known that it can be vertical, when cucumbers are tied up, or horizontal, when the plant shoots lie on the ground.
So, if you plan to tie up cucumbers in the future, they should be planted at a distance of 30 cm in a row - the vines will grow upward and hold on to the ropes on the support.
If you decide that the cucumbers will grow on the ground, then leave 50 cm from each other in a row. You don’t even have to shape them: the plants will grow and bring a large harvest.
