Effective Fertilizers for Cucumbers, Pumpkins, Zucchini, and Patissons 0 11

Garden enthusiasts growing crops such as cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini, and patissons can use one effective fertilizer — wood ash.

Wood ash contains essential components for these crops that promote fruit formation.

Dry ash is applied as follows: 1 cup per 1 sq. m. Then the ash is dug in, covered with soil, and periodically sprinkled before watering.

The solution is prepared using the following recipe: a bucket of water and 30 tablespoons of ash. It is infused for 15 days, stirring regularly. Fertilize at a rate of 0.5 liters per plant.

Iodine is also beneficial for cucumbers, rejuvenating the plant and increasing its resistance to diseases. 35 drops of iodine are dissolved in 1 liter of milk and the mixture is left for 6 hours. This solution is used to water the plants at the roots once every 14 days.
