To collect a noble harvest of cucumbers, you need to know what cucumbers like?
What kind of soil does this vegetable prefer? Does it like moisture?
What fertilizers does it need? So, what does a cucumber like?
The soil for growing cucumbers should be warm, rich in humus, and well-permeable. Cucumbers prefer sandy loam or light loamy soils.
Heavy, acidic, cold, waterlogged and impermeable soils are practically unsuitable for growing cucumbers.
The area where cucumbers are grown must be protected from prevailing winds.
In the absence of natural protection on the leeward side, tall crops such as corn or sunflowers should be sown.
Areas that are too shaded are also not suitable for planting cucumbers.
After the harvest has been collected, plant residues should be removed and disposed of, and the soil should be dug to a depth of twenty centimeters.
The lumps should not be broken up so that the moisture from the melted snow can seep deep into the soil.
Before sowing, to improve the structure, compost is added to the soil and ash is scattered on top.
Cucumber prefers organic fertilizers such as peat, manure or compost.
A good harvest can also be obtained with the combined use of organic and mineral fertilizers.
If the soil is acidic enough, it is limed before planting.
