It is incredibly easy to achieve a significant increase in cucumber yields.

And to do this, you don’t need to experiment with fertilizers, increasing the risk of “overfeeding” the plant.

It is enough to change the watering strategy of the garden crop.

So, sometimes cucumbers should be watered not with plain water, but with a certain mixture.

What should be added to the water

As a liquid for irrigation, you should use a very simple combination - "water + milk".

Therefore, you need to add a milk drink to the water for irrigation.

You should never overdo it with this component: one glass per bucket of clean liquid will be quite enough.

After thorough mixing, you will get a mixture that should be poured into a watering can.

Now all that remains is to replenish the moisture deficit in the cucumber beds using the prepared “cocktail”.

Experienced gardeners have long come to the following conclusion: periodic “milky” watering of cucumbers helps to increase the yield of the popular garden crop.
