Although zucchini belong to unpretentious crops, they still need some care. Especially if you want to get a big harvest later.

In particular, gardeners are deprived of the chance to get large and tasty fruits of three main mistakes.

How to feed zucchini

For zucchini, as for many other crops, the use of fertile soil is very important. Therefore, before planting seedlings or sowing, the land must be additionally fertilized.

If this is not done, the fruits will be small, frail, and the bushes themselves will be strewn with barren flowers.

The simplest and most affordable fertilizer for zucchini is humus.

Choosing the right growing location

Zucchini love sunny beds, so plant the plant so that it is under the sun for at least 6-8 hours.

Also note that the ground should be loose, well drained, light. If moisture stagnation occurs, rot will appear on the fruit.

Pollination of inflorescences
