For those who permanently live outside the city and have the opportunity to have chickens, this advice will come in handy. After all, a chicken is not only a homemade dietary egg, but also a lot of useful fertilizer. Every year, poultry farmers face the problem of what to do with their droppings? But a solution has been found, because before you is the most real nitrogenous fertilizer.
Store it in a corner where "goodness" will not interfere, and the next year, boldly bring it to the beds. This can be done right under the bushes. Pre-stir the component in a bucket of water. If last year's chicken manure is not at hand, then some gardeners advise to carefully introduce fresh droppings under the root. Why careful? Excessive application of fresh fertilizer can harm the bush and you will not get a crop from it.
Chicken droppings not only stimulate the plant to bear fruit abundantly, but also protect against fungal infection. After the fertilizer is applied, you need to properly water the bushes.
With the disadvantages of birds, you can use a nitroammophos. The effect will be the same. Granules from a bag must be introduced into the soil in advance. That is, before landing. The dosage is as follows: 25g. the substance is mixed with 5 liters of earth. This is just for the hole.
Back to grandma's recipes
You are closely watching the cucumbers and at one point you saw massively appeared ovaries on the bushes. This is not only joy and anticipation of tasty and healthy salads with crispy young cucumbers, but also responsibility: they need to be grown. Our task is to help the plant in this difficult task.
Many people do not want to turn to artificial fertilizers. They motivate their rejection of the development of agronomists and chemists reluctance to consume excess chemistry, because it is harmful. Well, everyone has their own choice. But you need to fertilize! Therefore, let's turn to the good old ashes. We take a 10 liter bucket of water and pour ash into it. Let the "drink" sit and stir again. After that, you can safely water the beds. This will not only support the bushes with cucumber ovary, but also have a beneficial effect on the composition of the soil.
By the way, if you are an adherent of environmentally friendly products and do not accept the treatment of bushes from pests, then sow mint and lemon balm next to the cucumbers. These herbs will help ward off midges and aphids. Your cucumbers will be strong, clean and healthy.
To protect against pests and strengthen bushes with ovaries and increase yields, an infusion of onion peels is used. It will cost quite cheaply (the cost of water, and you already throw away the husk), but it is done simply:
On a bucket of water, you need to take two handfuls of husks (a lot so that they barely fit in the palms of your hands). And soak it in this very bucket. It is better to do it on a sunny hot day in the morning. We take out the soaked onion peel outside and forget it in the sun until evening.
With the onset of coolness, we filter the solution and spray the plants. Productivity will increase, and pests will not come close. Do not throw out wet husks. It will still come in handy. It can be put under the roots, using as mulch.
This technique can be used not only with the onset of mid-summer, but as early as possible. no harm from it, but great benefit. For some reason, the pests cannot stand the smell of onions and refuse to settle on the leaves, which are regularly moistened with a solution with the aroma of onion peels.
With caution, you should use the recipe only during the flowering period. since bees are sensitive to odors and can ignore your plantings without pollinating them.
