Golden touch for cucumbers: Boost your harvest with homemade fertilizers
The season for planting cucumbers is ongoing. If we want a large yield, it's worth supporting the growth process with golden fertilizer. Thanks to it, cucumbers will adapt faster to the soil and be more resistant to external factors.
Cucumbers are one of the most commonly chosen vegetables to plant in gardens. Besides the fact that their "homegrown" and natural taste is much better than those available in supermarkets, they are also not difficult to grow. Follow a few rules to enjoy a large harvest. The so-called golden fertilizer will also help.
How to make golden fertilizer for cucumbers?
One of the most essential rules for planting cucumbers is to plant them only when the outside temperature is at least 18°C. The ideal conditions for their cultivation are 22-24°C.
It is also important to provide cucumbers with all the substances necessary for proper growth when cultivating them. To do this, simply make golden fertilizer and water the cucumbers with it both after planting and during flowering.
To create golden fertilizer, we need half a teaspoon of ground turmeric and half a teaspoon of baking soda. Mix the ingredients and pour a glass of warm water over them. Leave it for two hours. After this time, dilute it into approximately 1.5 litres of water. Water the cucumbers once every two weeks.
Prepare yeast fertilizer
Another fertilizer will make cucumbers grow like crazy. We need three ingredients to prepare it: water, sugar, and powdered yeast.
Mix 1 litre of water with 11 grams of yeast. Then, add a teaspoon of regular sugar to the solution. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined. Set aside the resulting fertilizer for an hour in a warm place to allow the fermentation process. After the designated time, dilute the solution with about 10 litres of water. Water each seedling with approximately 420 millilitres of the solution to fully utilise the fertiliser's potential.
