Sometimes it is worth visiting experienced summer residents in order to "spy" on some original solutions for the plot.
In this case, you can see that some of them sprinkle the cucumbers with ground shells.
The shell is not reduced to a powder state: medium-sized fragments are also present.
What is the meaning of this decision?
Slugs
Everyone knows that slugs will not pass by a bed of cucumbers: if given the opportunity, they will definitely stop for a "snack".
If you use eggshells, you can protect yourself from pests.
Nutrient medium
This solution can become a "long-lasting" fertilizer that will be effective throughout the entire summer cottage season. The shell will not decompose and will act instantly, so cucumbers will have an additional source of nutrients for a long time.
Aesthetics
It is worth remembering that beds decorated in this way will look much more aesthetically pleasing and attractive. Therefore, it is definitely worth trying this method of growing cucumbers.
