Without sufficient water, normal growth of cucumbers is impossible.

Moisture deficiency is one of the most common reasons for the decline in yield of a popular garden crop.

Summer residents, taught by bitter experience, water cucumbers regularly and generously.

In doing so, they use warm water, realizing that liquid at a low temperature can cause serious harm to the plant.

What to do after each watering of cucumbers

It is necessary to loosen the soil under the plant. To do this, you need to use a hoe.

In addition, it is advisable to cover the beds with mulching material. The ideal option is straw. At least a six-meter layer should appear.

By loosening the soil, the owner of a country plot will bring great benefit to the garden crop. The fact is that the plant roots will receive more oxygen and will be able to absorb more useful microelements and compounds.

The best options for feeding cucumbers were listed earlier.
