After planting cucumbers in the beds, it is important to pay due attention to their feeding and care. One of the effective treatment methods is the use of a solution of sour milk and potassium permanganate, which helps to stimulate the root system and protect the plants from pests. It is recommended to apply this solution directly to the plants after planting them, preparing it from 0.3 grams of potassium permanganate per 10 liters of water and adding a small amount of sour milk.

The following preventive treatments and fertilization of cucumbers are performed with an interval of 15 days, which helps maintain their health and stimulate growth. One of the feeding options is to use an infusion of onion peels, which can be prepared by pouring 500 grams of onion peels with water and letting it sit for a day, then bringing to a boil and diluting with water in a ratio of 1:10.

Another effective treatment method is celandine infusion treatment. To prepare it, it is necessary to infuse 500 grams of green celandine in water for three days, then strain and dilute with water in a ratio of 1:15. It is recommended to spray this infusion on the plants to protect them from pests and stimulate their growth.

Also, one of the options for feeding cucumbers is to use a solution of sour milk or ascorbic acid. To prepare the solution, simply dissolve 1 tablet of ascorbic acid in 5 liters of water or use a solution of sour milk in a ratio of 1:5. This solution can be used to water plants.

It is important to remember that watering cucumbers should be done at night after sunset to prevent possible wilting of the plants. It is also necessary to keep in mind that after frequent watering, the soil around cucumbers can become compacted, making it difficult for small roots to access nutrients. To avoid this, it is recommended to add loose materials such as peat, humus, sawdust or grass clippings several times per season under the plants. Adding these materials allows new roots to easily penetrate the soil and provides additional nutrition to the cucumbers, leading to a more abundant harvest.

Another interesting way to feed cucumbers is to use sourdough. To prepare it, just fill a bucket 2/3 full with black bread crusts, add water and press with something heavy so that the contents are submerged. The bucket is then placed in a warm place to ferment for a week. The ferment obtained with water is diluted proportionally. 1:3 and water cucumbers from the root, about 0.5 liters starter per shrub.
