How to extend the fruiting of cucumbers until frost: a summer cottage trick

Cucumbers are very demanding of heat and moisture, and therefore their fruiting often ends earlier than desired.

How can you extend the fruiting period of cucumbers until frost and get a larger harvest?

Effective fertilizer for cucumbers

One of the most important factors affecting the fruiting of cucumbers is proper and timely fertilization.

Cucumbers require a lot of nutrients, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

However, not all fertilizers are suitable for cucumbers, as some of them can increase soil acidity, promote disease development, or reduce cold resistance.

One of the most effective and safe fertilizers for cucumbers is a yeast solution.

The yeast solution enriches the soil with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, stimulates the growth and development of plants, increases immunity and resistance to stress, activates flowering and fruiting.

How to prepare and use yeast solution

To obtain a yeast solution, you need to combine 10 liters of warm water, 100 grams of fresh or 10 grams of dry yeast and 50 grams of sugar in one container.

All ingredients should be mixed in a large container and left in a warm place for 10-12 hours to ferment.

To use the yeast solution, dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:10. The resulting solution should be watered under the roots of cucumbers once every 10-14 days from the beginning of flowering until the end of fruiting.

You can also spray cucumber leaves with a yeast solution once every 7-10 days to strengthen the immune system and protect against diseases.

Yeast solution is a simple and affordable fertilizer for cucumbers, which will help extend their fruiting until frost and get more tasty and healthy cucumbers.
