Tired of picking hooked and bitter cucumbers from the garden? Do you want your neighbors to peek over the fence at your harvest? This recipe will be a real discovery! For many years, buckets of smooth, crisp and incredibly sweet cucumbers have been collected on the site. The secret of the harvest lies in three simple feedings. You don’t have to buy any special ingredients for them: everything you need is already on hand, often going straight to the trash can.
You will need:
- Spilled tea (infuser);
- Eggshell. From raw eggs;
- Onion peel. The one that everyone usually throws away.
Tea energy drink. Collect the dried tea leaves in a container and dry slightly. Add a handful of this tea leaves to the hole when planting seedlings. It perfectly loosens the soil, allowing the roots to breathe, and slowly releases nitrogen, the main “builder” of lush greenery.
Calcium shell bomb. Wash the shells of 5-7 eggs thoroughly, dry and grind in a coffee grinder or simply crush in a mortar. Pour the resulting powder into 1 liter of hot water and leave covered for 5-7 days. When the infusion becomes cloudy and a characteristic odor appears; the fertilizer is ready. Dilute 1 glass of infusion in 3 liters of water and water the cucumbers at the root during the period of fruit growth. This will protect against blossom end rot and keep the cucumbers juicy and crispy.
Onion elixir for diseases. Pour two good handfuls of onion peels into 5 liters of water, bring to a boil and let sit for 6-8 hours. Spray the cucumber leaves with the resulting saturated decoction in the evenings. This is not only foliar feeding, but also powerful protection against pests and fungal diseases. Cucumbers will get sick less, and the yield will soar.
That's the whole simple secret. No expensive chemicals, only what usually goes to waste. Alternate these feedings every 10-14 days, and your cucumbers will be the largest, sweetest and most desirable in the entire area. Tested over more than one season!
