Plant Cucumber Seedlings This Way for Double the Yield — Old Gardener’s Trick

Ever since I planted the cucumber like this, it grows faster and produces much more fruit. Cucumber seedlings are planted when the temperature exceeds 18°C without frost. Let's plant cucumber seedlings. Cucumber seedlings are planted in loose, fertile soil rich in humus. Slightly acidic, to a neutral reaction. pH values 6-7. I make a hole 15-20 cm deep and wider than usual planting. I put fresh leaves in the hole. You can also put grass clippings. Fresh leaves or grass warm the soil and retain moisture. I cover with a thin layer of humus. I pour water because I want to get moisture in the root zone. I need a plastic bottle which I drilled on one side in several places near the bottom. I place the cucumber seedling upright in the hole. I put a perforated plastic bottle in the hole next to the plant. I turn the drilled side towards the root. Press gently around the plant so that there are no air pockets. I will fill the bottle with water. In this way, the plant gets moisture exactly where it needs to be, in the roots. Water every 2-3 days as needed. Warm soil, constant moisture and direct nutrition. That's why the cucumber grows faster and produces more fruits this way. Once in 10 days, I water with nettle solution. It provides additional nitrogen and potassium for growth and fruiting. If you like the video, leave me a heart in the comment. Thanks, friends!
