Experienced gardeners know how to provide zucchini with all the nutrients and enviable immunity at the start.

This crop is not the most demanding in the garden. But zucchini also need good soil.

If the soil in the area is heavy, it must be improved before moving the seedlings.

For each seedling, dig a hole 40 cm deep and the same in diameter. Not only compost, but also other organic matter is placed at the bottom of the planting hole.

For example, manure, sawdust, chicken droppings are great for squash. You can use dry rotted grass.

But you need to use it carefully so that there are no seeds, otherwise you will have to fight hard against weeds all summer.

The top layer is sprinkled with peat or wood ash. Then comes the soil and the seedling itself. Immediately after planting, the squash should be watered generously.

With such a supply of food, the plant will actively develop and will delight you with a large harvest.
