A remedy for getting a double harvest of cucumbers

We are talking about a mixture consisting of two ingredients: garden diatomaceous earth and granulated manure.

The first component is necessary for the plant to acquire protection from dangerous microorganisms, and also to receive important microelements: silicon, magnesium and boron.

The second ingredient is a source of those nutrients without which prolonged fruiting of cucumbers is impossible.

For every one and a half kilos of garden diatomite there should be one kilo of granulated manure.

The resulting mixture should be used to cover the soil directly under the plant.

It is advisable to carry out the procedure at the end of July or after the onset of the final month of summer.

By the way, the good thing about the mixture is that it works gradually: the soil remains in an improved condition for a long time.
