Experienced summer residents bring one or two baskets of cucumbers from the garden every day during the cucumber season.
A solid harvest of juicy and aromatic fruits without bitterness is a real source of pride for gardeners.
To harvest cucumbers in baskets, the plants need to be fed during the ripening period.
For this purpose, prepare a liquid fertilizer, which is very popular among members of the Pumpkin family. But it is important to remember that cucumbers do not like cold water.
The optimum water temperature for the solution is 30 °C. The main component of the fertilizer is manure. Take 1 kg of fertilizer per 10 liters of water. Mix the solution and water the plants at the roots once a week.
Honey water is also useful for cucumbers during flowering. Thanks to it, the number of fruits on one branch will increase approximately 2 times. Take 1 tbsp. honey per glass of water, stir, pour into a spray bottle and spray the plants. The solution will attract bees.
