It would be no exaggeration to call zucchini the most "grateful" crop: with minimal effort, the harvest grows in such quantities that you have to share with friends and neighbors.
However, in order to collect a large number of high-quality zucchini every year, it is worth following some simple rules.
As a result, the zucchini will grow tasty, strong and will be stored well, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What rules are important to remember when growing zucchini
Don't forget about crop rotation
This is a universal rule that applies to all crops. Just follow crop rotation to avoid nutrient deficiencies and to prevent diseases.
If you alternate planting locations of crops, the harvest will always be higher than usual.
Thin out the zucchini
The crop will grow sluggishly if you do not thin out the zucchini. Too many plants in one bed can also lead to diseases.
Mulch
It is important to remember that zucchini also needs sufficient moisture for full development. It is believed that watering should be done immediately after you notice that the soil is dry.
In order to reduce watering and create comfortable conditions for zucchini, it is worth mulching them.
