Simple feeding will lead to unprecedented results.
When there is a lack of calcium, the leaves turn yellow and dry out. Cucumbers become smaller and develop slowly.
With a calcium deficiency, you shouldn't expect a rich harvest.
The source of the microelement can be a complex fertilizer or a folk remedy. Most often, summer residents choose calcium nitrate or wood ash.
But these fertilizers are not combined, but applied in different months.
For example, calcium nitrate is more suitable for the initial stage of development. Thanks to the feeding, there is active growth of stems and foliage. Use 2 g of calcium nitrate per 1 liter of water.
Ash is better suited for the fruiting period. The fertilizer contains not only calcium, but also potassium, which improves the taste of the fruit.
Ash is added under the root and then watered. Or it is poured into a bucket, filled with water, left for a week and watered under the root.
