Many people are now enjoying home-grown cucumbers, as the long-awaited period of active fruiting has arrived.

However, this process does not last long for everyone.

If you want the fruiting process to be as long as possible, you need to prepare special "treats" for the vegetable crop.

What can you feed the plant with?

Ash

The easiest way to increase the yield of cucumbers is to periodically "sprinkle" ash directly under each bush before watering.

You can also make various solutions based on ash.

Ideal complex fertilizer

Many experienced gardeners use this composition twice during the fruiting process. This allows to significantly increase the yield.

The following mixture needs to be prepared.

To do this, take about two liters of compost and mix it in a bucket of water. Then add 50 grams of superphosphate. Also, strengthen the product with one large spoon of nitrophoska. The composition is used for watering.

For spraying

The recipe for the remedy is simple: dissolve a half-liter jar of mullein in a bucket of water and apply it to the cucumbers.
