What I add when planting cucumbers and then harvest all summer without additional feeding
If you want your cucumbers to grow and develop well, then they need a complex fertilizer, which consists of wood ash, compost, superphosphate, humus and potassium sulfate. Each of the components has a beneficial effect on cucumbers: it activates the growth of the vine, improves immunity, and promotes rooting.
How to plant
Before you start planting cucumber seedlings, dig a planting hole, the depth of which will be about 30 cm.
Next, you need to fill the hole halfway with compost or humus.
After this, pour in wood ash (about 100 g or half a glass).
Add superphosphate and potassium sulfate (1 teaspoon each).
Mix all the components together.
Pour a little soil on top and water the hole well.
The soil is needed so that the roots of the seedlings do not get burned from direct contact with the fertilizer.
Sprinkle the seedlings with a small layer of soil and mulch with sawdust or straw.
Thanks to this fertilizer, the cucumbers will be provided with all the necessary nutrients throughout the growth and development of the crop. Therefore, you will get a rich and healthy harvest of cucumbers.
Additional feeding of the plant will be required if it needs it. This will be clear from the appearance of the leaves and fruits.
