Summer residents offer an interesting option for feeding cucumbers. To do this, you will have to use beer.

Let's try to figure out what is true and what is fiction and whether it is possible to pour the intoxicating drink directly onto the cucumber beds.

Beer feeding

As gardeners assure, this is one of the options for affordable and natural fertilizers for cucumbers.

The drink, as is known, contains yeast, hops and a number of useful elements.

As a result, feeding allows you to replenish the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron.

However, the drink can only be used in garden beds in a diluted form.

As a result, the flowering of cucumbers improves, and for weakened plants, fertilizing is simply necessary.

Bushes growing in open ground respond well to beer fertilizing.

What beer to use

The so-called “live” beer is available and is exclusively non-alcoholic.

You should not use alcoholic drinks for watering, because the effect will be completely opposite.

In addition, before adding the additive, the beer must be kept open to allow the gas to escape.

Beer is diluted in water in a ratio of 1:10.
