5 effective and easy ways to increase your cucumber yield

Easy ways to increase your cucumber yield



Surprisingly, the most effective methods to increase yields are retail cost-effective or completely free. After all, in essence, everything depends on fertile soil, natural food, and timely, adequate irrigation. 5 effective methods to increase the yield of cucumbers are discussed below.


1 - Proper planting



As practice has shown, planting cucumbers on a nettle "pillow" significantly increases the yield - sometimes 2-3 times! To do this, dig a 20 cm trench, place the finely chopped nettles on the bottom with a 10 cm layer, sprinkle with earth, sow the seeds on top or plant the seedlings, and finally cover with foil. This nettle "pillow" gradually rots, releasing heat and growing cucumbers with essential nutrients.


2 - Cop dressing with "green" manure and ash


After the first 4 leaves of cucumber appear, it is necessary to start the "green" diet. To do this, place the nettles and other weeds up to half the size of the barrel, add 2 liters of ash, and pour water on top. Insist for a week. Cucumbers should be given in the following quantities: 1 liter of green manure + 1 liter of water. Cucumbers should be well watered before fertilizing. Also, for prevention, you can periodically wipe the ground around the bush with ash.


3 - Spraying with boric acid



To set the best fruits during flowering, cucumbers should be sprayed with boric acid: for this, 0.5 tbsp of acid is taken in 10 liters of warm water.


4 - Irrigation with soda


Gardeners are well aware that soda is an irreplaceable helper in the garden. Soda protects cucumbers from disease, prevents yellowing of leaves, allows lashes to renew quickly. Cucumbers should be watered 3 times a season. For 10 liters of water, take 2 teaspoons of ordinary baking soda. The first time should take root in the first decade of July, the second time - in late July, the third time - in mid-August.


5 -  Hilling stems



This method allows cucumbers to renew their leaves and stems, and adds extra roots. To do this, the lower part of the cucumber stalks should be cut to the ground, tied up, and lightly sprinkled with earth. The stem in the ground grows very quickly with new roots and begins to grow sharply. Renewed lashes in this way will give higher yields and fruiting is extended to another month.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1.
