Cucumbers do not require special care and to grow a good harvest, it is enough to water them properly and remove weeds.
In this case, you will get crispy and tasty fruits, but the fruiting process will come to an end after three weeks.
But to prolong fruiting, you need to pay attention to some important nuances.
We will talk about watering and feeding.
How to water and feed cucumbers?
Until flowers appear on the bushes, you need to water the bushes twice a week. Growing bushes can be watered once every five days.
After the ovary appears, watering becomes more frequent – at least 3 times a week.
As for feeding, we must provide cucumbers with phosphorus, potassium and microelements. We prepare a solution of nitrophoska - 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water and give each bush 500 grams.
After the leaves turn yellow (which should be removed) in August, we give a solution of superphosphate and calcium sulfate (1 tablespoon per bucket of water).
