When planting cucumbers, experienced gardeners always use various tricks. Why not figure out what you can put in the hole when planting cucumbers to increase their yield?
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to act in such a situation.
In most cases, we are talking about basic ingredients.
Bacterial preparations
Preparations based on nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-binding bacteria improve the availability of nutrients for plants and increase their resistance to stress.
They can be bought in specialized stores, you should always pay attention to the composition. It is important that such fertilizers contain potassium, nitrogen, fluorine and phosphorus.
Wood ash
Ash is rich in potassium and microelements. It helps neutralize soil acidity and improve the structure. Adding a small handful of ash to each hole promotes healthy plant growth. It is enough to sprinkle one teaspoon of wood ash into each hole when planting.
Eggshell
The shell contains calcium, which is necessary for the development of cell walls. Crushed eggshells added to the hole improve the soil structure and provide the plants with the necessary calcium.
There is simply no more universal feeding at the moment. Of course, the shell must be washed before adding.
Banana peel
Banana peels are rich in potassium and can be crushed and added to the hole to improve fruiting.
Before adding it should be crushed. Many people note that banana peel has a great effect, but many do not realize it.
