Cucumbers are one of the most popular vegetables among gardeners. To increase the yield of these plants, it is necessary to use fertilizers. However, it is not necessary to use expensive purchased compounds, often all the materials for feeding are already at home.
Feeding with ash
Potassium can increase the yield of adult plants. In the natural environment, it is found in large quantities in ash. Ideally, it is worth using ash obtained from untreated logs, sticks or grass. Ash from materials with an admixture of plastic, paint and other inorganic substances is not suitable. For top dressing, 30-35 ml of iodine and about 100 grams of ash are mixed in 10 liters of water, and adult plants are watered with the prepared solution. The abundance of iodine and potassium contributes to the formation of large ovaries and the development of large fruits.
Spraying with iodine and soda
In the summer heat, it is important to take care not only of the fertility of plants, but also of the effect of high temperatures on the condition of plants. Heat provokes the development of diseases and yellowing of cucumber leaves, this process can be prevented with a solution of iodine and soda. To prepare, mix 30 drops of iodine and 2 tablespoons of soda in 10 liters of water, an additional component is urea in a volume of 1 tablespoon. The resulting solution is sprayed on yellowed plants once every 10 days. Use of dairy productsIodine for cucumbers: 4 feeding recipes for a bountiful harvest
