The right fertilizers for each stage

After the plant has two true leaves, it is necessary to feed the cucumbers with liquid vermicompost.

It is prepared as follows:

  • 1 liter of organic compost;
  • 10 liters of water.

Fill the compost with water and let the mixture sit for 1-2 days.

To feed one bush you need about 50-100 milliliters of solution, and it is recommended to apply it every 7-10 days.

Take note: if you plant cucumber seeds directly into the soil, then chicken manure infusion is an excellent fertilizer for them.
