Traditionally, it is accepted to grow zucchini freely, without tying or fixing them in any way.
However, in reality, some varieties of zucchini should still be placed in a strictly defined way in the garden bed.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about which zucchini need to be tied up.
According to the expert, we are talking about climbing varieties of this vegetable crop, since their shoots can reach several meters in length.
Take note
According to the scientist, it is strictly recommended to grow climbing zucchini on a support.
In addition, Kovrizhnykh notes that tying up zucchini can help save space in the garden, as well as protect the fruit from mice and other pests.
Fixing the bushes of the crop helps the bushes to be well ventilated. This protects the crop from infection by diseases and infections.
Staking can also help make harvesting easier.
