Where you can’t plant cucumbers: 3 places that are not suitable for garden crops

The yield of cucumbers depends on a number of factors.
Of course, proper care of garden crops is of great importance.
If you feed the plant correctly, water it regularly and protect it from diseases, then the likelihood of a bad harvest will be minimal.
Of no less importance is how the gardener acted before transplanting the plant into open ground.
So, the gardener had to choose a place that was really suitable for growing a popular garden crop.
If the choice was made correctly, the yield will most likely be high.
But if cucumbers grow where the conditions for their cultivation are poor, then the gardener is unlikely to be able to harvest a rich crop.
So, what areas should not be chosen for growing cucumbers? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Shaded area
For full growth and development, garden crops need sunlight.
If there is a shortage of the latter, problems with fruit formation will certainly arise.
The few fruits that form will be crooked and tasteless.
Area with poor drainage
Excessively moist soil has a negative effect on the condition of the plant: there is a high probability of developing such a dangerous disease as root rot.
Where the wind is strong
Moderate wind is unlikely to have a negative impact on garden crops. Quite the opposite, actually.
However, constant exposure to strong air currents can cause damage to garden bushes.
Earlier, summer residents were told what the first feeding of beets should be.
