When planting cucumbers, it is useful to know some tricks.
In this article, we will tell you how to fertilize cucumbers when planting in the ground.
Different types of soil are suitable for growing cucumbers.
However, the most preferred soil for growing vegetables is loose, well drained, well supplied with organic matter and nutrients.
The soil pH level should be between 6.0 and 6.5.
To plant cucumbers, take half a bucket of humus, a teaspoon of urea and potassium sulfate and the same amount of double superphosphate.
All this needs to be mixed well with the soil.
Plant seedlings or seeds in dry soil and water after planting.
In addition, you can pour humus, compost or mineral fertilizers into the soil with the obligatory addition of nitrogen.
You can plant two plants per hole. The distance between holes and rows should be sufficient.
Sow cucumber seeds in open soil every 3-4 cm.
Some prefer the nesting method - 3-7 seeds in one hole.
