How to water cucumbers correctly

Cucumbers do not require special care. For the development of the vegetable, it is important that the soil is well moist and nutritious.

Water the plants with an inch of water once a week.

It is worth increasing the amount of moisture for cucumbers if the weather is dry and hot and there is no rain.

If there is not enough moisture, the cucumber harvest may be bitter and tasteless.

Waterlogged soil is fraught with rotting of the plant's root system and insufficient nutrients.

Water the cucumbers with a hose or drip irrigation to keep the foliage dry.

This will help you prevent leaf diseases that can ruin your cucumber crop.

Also, use cucumber fertilizer - organic or mineral.
