Some gardeners believe that the fertilizers added when digging the soil will be enough to grow a decent crop of vegetables.
However, experienced gardeners believe that it would not be a bad idea to additionally add various nutrients directly into the hole.
How to fertilize cucumbers when planting
Urea
This fertilizer is extremely necessary for cucumbers at the initial stages of development. Thanks to urea, the plant will easily build up high-quality green mass, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist.
Take no more than one spoon of urea per hole.
Double superphosphate
This fertilizer is considered one of the highest quality, since it generally has a positive effect on the development of vegetable crops.
It is enough to take a small spoon of double superphosphate for one hole.
Granulated manure
The highest quality option is precisely prepared granulated manure. The product is considered the most effective and high-quality.
The advantage of manure is that it remains in operation for a very long period of time, enriching the soil with valuable substances.
Remember that the granules must first be combined with the soil.
