Many gardeners who grow zucchini do not get enough harvest due to one very common mistake.

From year to year. The same mistake – the same result in terms of harvest volume. It can be twice as big.

We are talking about the soil. Zucchini should only be planted in neutral or alkaline soil.

If vegetables are planted in acidic soil, they will grow, but the harvest will be small, and the fruits will be small and tasteless. Those in the know say so.

How do you know what kind of soil you have? You can buy special litmus papers for testing in the store.

Showed acidity? Don't be discouraged: we'll deacidify the soil by digging it up and adding dolomite flour or wood ash.

By the way. The optimal soil for zucchini is loamy and sandy loam. Vegetables grow poorly on peat and clay and produce small fruits.
