In August, cucumber bushes begin to bear less fruit.

This is due to changes in weather conditions: the air temperature drops, there are more rainy days and foggy periods.

However, any gardener can restore normal fruiting of a garden crop and significantly extend this process - until the very frosts.

To do this, the plant needs to be fed in a certain way.

It is advisable to carry out the procedure between August 15 and 20.

How to feed cucumbers so that they bear fruit until October

In the coming days, the garden crop needs to be given potassium sulfate: 1 tablespoon of this product should be added to a bucket of water.

You will get a solution that you need to water the cucumber bushes at the roots.

In the final days of summer, the results of the above-described feeding will need to be consolidated by adding another fertilizer.

You will have to prepare a fairly saturated ash solution: 200 grams of unburned wood residue per bucket of water.

If the owner of a country plot carries out all the above-mentioned procedures, he will be able to harvest cucumbers for a long time.
