To get a rich harvest of juicy, crispy and firm cucumbers, you will have to try hard.
Perhaps the most important thing in caring for this crop is the application of fertilizers.
Among the many possible options, many summer residents opt for a fertilizer that is nicknamed “golden” for its truly magical properties.
The nutritional composition contains a number of micro- and macroelements, due to which it is able to eliminate nutritional deficiencies after the first use.
In addition, watering at the roots using this fertilizer disinfects the soil and destroys parasites.
And the solution is prepared from what housewives usually send straight to the trash can: a 5-liter container needs to be filled one-third with onion and garlic peelings (you can add garlic tops or onions that have already begun to spoil), then pour boiling water and leave for a day under the lid.
After 24 hours, the infusion should be filtered - you will get about 4 liters, and you can use it for watering on previously watered soil - a liter for each plant.
A week later, you can spray the cucumbers on the leaves with the same golden fertilizer, diluting 0.5 liters of infusion in 5 liters of water.
