A simple fertilizer made from a natural component helps extend the fruiting period of cucumbers.
In some cases, cucumbers do not turn yellow until October and continue to yield a harvest.
Thanks to fertilization, the fruits become sweet and crunchy. Many gardeners forget about this simple fertilizer, preferring to use baking soda and salt.
However, sugar is no worse, and sometimes even better. Sweetness is loved not only by children but also by plants, especially cucumbers. Sugar provides energy and helps plants breathe.
Sugar fertilization strengthens the roots of cucumbers, promotes better growth, and improves the harvest.
Preparation of the fertilizer
The fertilizer is easy to prepare and does not require significant costs. The ratio of components for one cucumber bush is: 2 tablespoons of sugar per 1 liter of water. The sugar should be stirred until fully dissolved. The resulting sweet water is used to water the plants at the base.
The recipe for the fertilizer can be varied. Instead of sugar, some gardeners use glucose tablets. In this case, the ratio of components is: 1 tablet per 1 liter of water.
