You can only count on a large cucumber harvest if you take proper care of this crop.

Fertilizers will help you with this – unfortunately, some recipes have been undeservedly forgotten.

At the same time, they have already proven their effectiveness, and they don’t take much time – for example, like this clever fertilizer made from manure and nettles.

Why is she called cunning?

It's simple: even a schoolchild can handle the preparation of the mixture, and the benefits of its use are estimated to be colossal.

To make the fertilizer, you need to fill a bucket with fresh nettles – about a third full.

Before this, the stems and leaves of the weed should be chopped up with a knife.

Next, manure goes into the container - just half a kilogram, and then water. It should reach the very top.

You can consider that all the difficulties are over: now all that remains is to infuse the solution in a bucket with a lid for 8 days.

Throughout this period, the solution must be stirred occasionally.

Before you begin applying the mixture to the cucumber beds, you need to additionally dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.

Each bush requires a liter of solution. Apply fertilizer once every two weeks, and you will certainly notice the result.
