  • beet;
  • zucchini;
  • pumpkin.

Fresh cow dung is laid out on top, everything is covered with a film and remains until spring. When the snow melts, you need to add humus with a layer of up to 15 cm. When the soil is acidified, dolomite flour is used.

Soil preparation

When preparing a site for planting in spring, you need to use mineral fertilizers. Rotted manure or compost is scattered on the selected beds, nitrophosphate and wood ash on top. At the end of the work, a soil layer up to 15 cm is laid and abundant watering is carried out.

The finished bed is closed with a film as tightly as possible, and kept for 10 days.

How to care for cucumbers after planting

Before flowering, watering is necessary every 3-4 days, with the appearance of the first ovaries, the interval should be reduced to 2 days.
