Cucumbers absorb nutrients like a sponge and grow intensively only with a large amount. If we forget about regular fertilization, then the leaves will be yellow, poor flowering, and in effect issuing small crops. We present a recipe for a natural fertilizer with a simple compositionwhich is a mix of micro- and macroelements, ideal for supporting the microbiology of the substrate.
Ingredients:
- 5 liters of hot water;
- 2 chopped banana skins;
- 1 tablespoon of dry yeast;
- 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Preparation:
Place chopped banana skins, dry yeast and sugar in a bucket and pour these ingredients with warm water. Leave the whole for 24 hours in a warm place. After this time, strain the liquid through gauze or sieve.
Use:
Plants are fertilized immediately after 24 hours of fermentation. After 2-3 days, a natural fertilizer may lose its valuable properties.
Water the mixture once a week. This applies to specimens grown in the ground, pots, greenhouses and tunnels.
We perform this treatment in the morning or evening. Fertilizing cucumbers in full sun could cause burns of their delicate leaves and rapid evaporation of the liquid.

Banana skins, contained in this natural fertilizer, are a source of potassium and phosphorus – minerals necessary for flowering and fruiting. In turn, yeast includes enzymes, vitamins and microorganisms that activate life in the ground. Sugar, however, is a medium for useful bacteria.
All this is poured with warm, not cold water, because thanks to it it is fermented and released nutrients. Thanks to this solution, we will notice major changes in the development of cucumbers. In question?
Plant growth is immediately accelerated. Their flowering becomes more abundant and even. As a result, they spend juicy, long and firm crops.
It is also worth mentioning that this natural fertilizer is not only a mixture of growth, flowering and fruiting, but also resistance. With its regular use, cucumbers tolerate weather changes better and become resistant to fungal diseases. There is no question of yellowing of the leaves. For this we will notice the increase in crop from week to week.
This homemade conditioner will also work for tomatoes. Then we only skip the addition of banana cuticles.
