Cucumbers love warmth and humidity, but heat and scorching sun are not beneficial even for heat-loving crops.
Here's what gardeners have come up with to protect cucumber beds from the heat and scorching sun. To do this, prepare a homemade remedy for watering once a week.
How to protect cucumbers
You will need:
- water;
- cola;
- light beer.
How to proceed
The ingredients need to be dissolved in 10 liters of water. You will need one liter of beer and the same amount of popular soda.
Important point: It is necessary to leave the products open so that all the gas can escape. The beer should not foam.
The prepared composition is used for watering at intervals of once a week. It is best to plan this for the morning or evening.
How it works
According to gardeners who practice this method of protecting cucumbers from the scorching sun, the potassium, phosphorus and yeast contained in cola and beer are only beneficial to the plant.
And orthophosphoric acid perfectly protects the crop.
At the same time, you don’t have to worry about the quality of the fruit. The structure of the vegetables will not change under the influence of heat thanks to the yeast.
