Whether cucumbers will produce a good harvest depends not least on the distance at which they are planted.
Why you shouldn’t save space when planting cucumbers is explained by the expert of the online publication “Belnovosti”, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How far apart to plant cucumbers
The planting should not be too dense, otherwise the cucumbers will lack nutrients.
In addition, the plants will stretch out and become susceptible to fungal diseases.
The planting should not be too sparse either. When determining the distance, you need to focus on the planting method.
There are only two of them - horizontal and vertical. When growing horizontally, the holes are placed in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of up to 60-70 centimeters.
When planted vertically, the distance between bushes should be a maximum of 20-30 cm, between rows – 50 cm.
