Even experienced gardeners make this gross mistake when planting cucumbers: don't do this, otherwise you'll lose your harvest
Every gardener who starts planting cucumbers expects a good harvest.
However, not all summer residents achieve the desired result.
Mistakes made when caring for garden crops can result in very few quality fruits being harvested.
Don't want to get into such a situation? Then water the plant correctly, apply the necessary fertilizers on time and in the right amount, protect cucumber bushes from pests and diseases.
Also, plant cucumbers correctly. It turns out that a serious mistake can be made already at this stage. And then even proper care of the plant will not help to get a good harvest.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about a common mistake when planting cucumbers.
How not to plant cucumbers
This crop cannot be planted in the same place where it already grew in the previous summer season.
This action will lead to the plant simply lacking nutrients and microelements.
Thus, we must not forget about the rules of crop rotation: in the place where cucumbers previously grew, it is worth planting some other garden crop. A good option is tomatoes.
It is advisable to plant cucumbers in place of onions, garlic, beans or tomatoes.
