Many gardeners, especially beginners, have problems with cucumber growth. If all conditions are met, cucumbers bear poor fruit or refuse to grow. I myself encountered this problem many years ago, when I was still starting to grow this plant.

The harvest did not make me happy, but everything changed when my mother visited me. When she saw my cucumber bed, she said that she too had experienced a similar situation and knew what to do. It turned out that the soil lacks beneficial microflora and there is too much harmful microflora. She shared with me a wonderful feeding recipe that immediately helped my cucumbers to perk up and significantly increased my harvest.

So what do we need? All the ingredients are natural and healthy. The first component of our fertilizer is a weed infusion, which is considered one of the best for cucumbers. It is very easy to prepare. Fill the bucket to the top with weeds, fill it with water, cover with a lid and put it in a warm place. After 5-7 days, the infusion will begin to ferment and thicken. The resulting fermentation will ideally nourish the cucumbers. To use the infusion, you need to dilute 2 liters. infusion in 10 liters of water.

The second important component of the diet is the drug “Em”. There are many varieties on the market, the most popular are “Baikal EM1” and “Vostok EM1”.

What is it? These are beneficial microorganisms that promote plant development and rapid humus formation. The product contains yeasts, fermenting fungi and beneficial actinomycete bacteria that have a positive effect on the soil.

After the drug is applied to the soil, a number of useful processes occur. Firstly, the pathogenic microflora that affects the growth and fruiting of cucumbers is suppressed. Secondly, it accelerates the formation of humus and improves the absorption of nutrients from the soil by plants. I must say that the joint use of “Em” and green manure is pure magic.

To do this, just add 3 tablespoons of the drug “Baikal EM1” to a bucket with a weed infusion and feed the cucumber bed, adding one and a half liters of fertilizer to each cucumber. You will see great results. Repeat this feeding every 10 days throughout the summer and your cucumber bed will become invincible.
