To ensure that the harvest is always large, cucumbers need to be properly looked after and, of course, fed.
In search of effective nutritional compositions, it is worth looking into the past - at long-forgotten fertilizer recipes.
We will share one of them with you in this article: according to summer residents who have tried this fertilizer, it is not only very effective, but also safe, and this is also important.
So, to fertilize cucumber beds, you can use a “cunning” green solution of nettles and manure.
Why is it “tricky”? The answer is simple: it’s a piece of cake to prepare, and the benefits of using it are enormous: it saturates plants with the nutrients they need, ensures their good growth and development, strengthens the immune system, increases yields and improves taste.
To experience all the above benefits, so to speak, for yourself, fill a bucket one-third full of freshly chopped nettles and add 0.5 kg of manure to it, then fill the container with water.
Leave the solution to infuse under a closed lid for 7-8 days, remembering to stir it from time to time.
Before applying the fertilizer, the mixture is filtered and diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.
One liter should be poured onto each bush. This should be done once every two weeks.
