By adding a certain fertilizer to the holes when planting cucumbers, you can significantly increase the yield.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us how to feed cucumbers when planting.
What to put in the holes when planting cucumbers
One of the best fertilizers for cucumbers is wood ash.
When planting, it is applied as follows: put a handful of ash in the hole, sprinkle with a layer of soil (about 2 cm), plant the plant, and water.
Cucumbers also love banana peels. Grind fresh or dried peels, put them in a hole, sprinkle with soil, plant the plant, and water.
If you have chosen ash or banana peel as fertilizer, you should not try to improve the fertilizer recipe and add biohumus, complex fertilizers or nettles, this will not be beneficial.
