Cucumbers belong to annual liananoid pumpkin cultures. Their juicy long stems, in length growing more than two meters, stretch over the surface of the earth and climb on the supports up, clinging for all the mustes. This important physiological feature must be taken into account when growing vegetable.

Garter of cucumbers: why do this procedure need

Cucumbers can be left to grow freely and not to be taught. They can step on the ground, spreading their screens in different directions.

Cucumbers can grow on Earth without garter

But cultivation on the support has a number of benefits:

• the plant fixed on the support is better illuminated by the Sun and blown by air, the flowers are better pollinated and the fruit is formed more;
• with proper garter, the risk of damage to various diseases arising from the contact of the stems, leaves and fruits with damp soil is reduced;
• landing become compact, since each plant takes less space;
• the yield increases, since the growing up the empty is longer and form a greater number of wounds;
• care for such a garden is greatly facilitated (it's easier to deteriorate, water, loose, etc.);
• the fruits hang in the air, and do not lie on Earth, so they are more noticeable and it is easier to collect them.

When tapping the yield of cucumbers significantly increases

• supporting devices are installed in advance so as not to damage the root system;
• the shoots begin to be tied up when they reach a length of 0.2-0.3 m (under 4-5 sheet);
• do not need too tightly adapt to the stem to the support, because the rope can transmit or cut it;
• when shoots grow to the upper edge of the support (more than 2 m), they need to be discredited;
• heavily scratched and protruding side shoots are removed, leave the main escape and several strong branches.

The reference design for cucumbers is better to mount in advance so as not to damage the plants.

The support should be strong enough to withstand the whole mass of stems, foliage and growing fruits.

At the very beginning of his garden activities, when I have not had enough experience, I just put the cucumbers in the wells on the ground. Their screamers were then spread around the meter around two and approach the plant was difficult. I had to rack the heap of the leaves to approach the bun. Otherwise, it was impossible to pour it. The search for fruits turned into a fascinating quest. Rarely when it was possible to collect small neat cucumbers, but then it is not known where huge checkers appear.

Main ways of cucumber row

There are ways to raise the cucumber vacuum from the ground and send their growth up, there is a huge amount. Each of them has pros and cons. When choosing a cucumber garter method, the peculiarities of the site, the level of illumination, soil humidity and other factors should be considered.

There are many different ways of garter cucumbers

The most commonly used such options for fixing cucumber shoots to the support:

• the garter vertical;
• horizontal garter.

It is better not to tie the stalks with thin ropes or twine, because they can damage the escape with sharp gusts of the wind. When growing in open soil, it is recommended to use wide tissue strips (2-3 cm).

Vertical garter of cucumbers

Most often, gardeners are used vertical fixation of cucumber weaves.

Vertical garter is more often used for varieties with a non-silver side branch.

The essence of the method is as follows:

1. Install the P-shaped support. You can drive two columns from the next beds, stretch the thick durable rope or wire. But more reliable will be a hard design (in the form of a horizontal bar) with a cross-line of a pipe or bar.
2. On the horizontal guide, the desired number of rods (tissue strips) binds, equal to the number of cucumber bushes.
3. Sweet ends tie to stems with a little tension so that the plant does not hang out freely in the air.
4. As the escape increases, you need to direct up and wind the top around the rope.

There are several modifications of this method:

The vertical cultivation scheme of cucumbers allows you to place a large number of bushes on a small square. The vertical border is convenient for varieties with a non-severe side branch or in the formation of a culture in one stem.

If the bush varieties of cucumbers are cultivated, varieties with numerous branches are cultivated, it is more advisable to use the horizontal garter of a ride.

Horizontal garter is more convenient for highly worn cucumber varieties

Constructed such design is very simple:

1. Two pillars are bought from wooden bars or metal pipes at the ends of the cucumber bed.
2. Between the installed supports stretch the durable twine or rope into several rows at a distance of 25-30 cm from each other.
3. The stalks are first fixed to the bottom string (ties or use special brackets), then as the screens increases, go to higher levels. At the same time, escape can freely chase around the rope.
4. Typically, long central shoots rush near the upper strings, and the side branches occupy the lower tiers.
5. Too long scaffolding is shortened so that they do not fall down and have not shaded other plants.

Multiple ropes are stretched between vertical supports

The variation of this method is a tweer when the bushes are planted between two rows of rods and grow in the middle of the support system.

In the grove between two rows of rods, cucumbers grow

The clinging mustache must be periodically correcting and helping running to grow in the right direction, because he will not be able to choose the right road.

With the help of the cucumber mustache clings to the support, but it is necessary to constantly direct

Mesh for garter and other ways

Food of two main ways Some vegetables practice practices the use of other original and sometimes unusual options for clogging cucumber.

Using a grid

In specialized gardening stores, you can find a large-scale plastic solid grid, which is designed to grow climbing and fusing plants.

Mesh for garter cucumbers can be bought in the store

It is stretched between two vertical columns. So that the material does not be resolved under the weight of the green vegetative mass, it is additionally attached to the intermediate supports after 1-1.5 m. Clinging to the cells of the mustache, the cucumbers will be freely placed on the grid. You can build a similar design of thin wooden rails or staketin, as well as from metal wire or rods.

Cucumbers with the help of the mustache cling to the grid and rise above

You can not take a grid with shallow cells, the plant climbing up it will not be able to.

Pyramid

Locking in the form of a pyramid implies the following actions:

1. The cucumbers are sled in a circle with a diameter of approximately 1.5-1.8 m, in the center of which is installed high pole from metal or wood.
2. Near each bustle sticks a small peg.
3. The stems are then tied up with ropes to the central pillar at an angle of about 65-70 °, forming a pyramid.

Rods with cucumber weaves are tied to the central support

As a variant of this method, you can use several long sticks or rods, stuck around the perimeter between plants and connected in the centerpoint by the upper ends. Rods in several tiers are stretched between intermediate supports. As a result, the whole design is like a slush. It looks facilities quite unusual.

Barrels

On sites with a small area to save space when planting cucumbers, you can use barrels filled with nutrient soil. At the same time, the cucumber whiskers hang around the edges down, thereby decorating the container.

When growing cucumbers in the bench of the plenti, you can leave freely hanging down

For fine cucumbers as a landing capacity, you can use suspension caspets, the scourge from which will freely hide.

Small-field cucumbers can be grown in decorative suspended caspo

My good girlfriend has grown cucumbers in barrels for several years, which are about a meter from the Hozblock. Part of the stems is in a free flight and hanging, covering the metal side of the barrels. Another part of the trimps is wearing the roof of the building. It turns out a green veranda, behind which closer to the autumn of the structure already and not see.

Arc probe

Between plastic or metal arcs (for greenhouses), horizontally supporting ropes or wire in several tiers, for which the cucumber lianas will be mounted.

With arc garter cucumbers between arcs stretch ropes

Natural Walker

Cucumber bushes can be simply planted along the fences and fences that act as a tag. They are fixed tied with twine or beeps.

Some vegetables prefer to plant cucumbers along the fences

Some inventive dachables wrap over the cucumbers all sorts of ladies, arches, walls and other facilities used in landscape design. A curved plant can be used on the finished support or frame purchased in the store.

How can you grow cucumbers in the open soil without garter

In principle, the cucumber should not be tied up, this pumpkin plant is successfully growing on Earth. When growing, the stalks were polistily trying to evenly decompose in the garden, so that they would not blocked each other and did not cling to the mustache. Bevel-painted varieties that give a large number of fruitless side shoots, be sure to pinch:

• the main stem is shortened after 4-5 sheets;
• the sidewalls appeared already add over the second sheet.

When growing cucumbers on Earth, they need to be pissed

The complace procedure will cause the enhanced formation of female inflorescences with urging. New varietal hybrids in shortening shoots do not need.

If you do not cut the stems, then the bush will grow uncontrollably, increasing the green mass. The yield will be extremely weak, and the plant will delete ahead of time.

When growing cucumbers without a garter increases the risk of fungal diseases

When my cucumbers grew on an earthen bed, I periodically shifted the branches so that there remain small fights of the free land, for which you can approach plants for watering or feeding. Sometimes just took the scissors in the hands and sorted the most thick sections of landing.

The border of cucumbers is the most important agrotechnic admission, which allows you to get a rich harvest. Methods such a large amount that every gardener is free to choose the most suitable for him. The support for cucumber woven can be an architectural product of landscape design.

Growing cucumbers for dacnishes is one of the most favorite classes. Experienced gardeners are proud of a rich harvest annually. Newbies have to learn a lot about agrotechnics of growing vegetable to learn how to repeat the feats of their experienced colleagues. Including how to tie the cucumbers.

How to suspend cucumbers in the open soil

The garter of cucumbers in the open soil is the most important operation in the process of cultivation of culture. Not tied cucumbers give much less fruit and often sick. In addition, collect harvest, dying through the tangle of confused stems, is very unpleasant.

The main goal of the garter is to provide a plant with a maximum of sunlight and space for full-fledged development.

After 3 weeks after the landing, the seedling reaches 30 cm height. At stage 4-5 leaves, the plant must be tied to the support.

We need to tie up under the bottom sheet. The loop must be free. Fruit garter options There are many: on a grinding, on the grid, on separate supports; It all depends on the varietal features of the fruit and fantasy of the garden.

Selecting the type of garter

As a rule, performing a garter of cucumbers, you have to choose one of the three options. This is a vertical, horizontal or mixed garter. We will figure it out how to properly tapping the screens.

Horizontal garter

It is advisable to use horizontal garter to use if you are dealing with a variety of cucumbers, which is distinguished by strong side branches, and the sidewall purchase does not produce. For this, at the ends of the beds are bought on one column. The support may be made of wood or metal. There are several rows of wires or ropes between the supports. The distance between the rows of the wire should be no more than 30 cm. Sidelaws of the plant will naturally be distributed by support. Bustic will feel comfortable. This factor can be attributed to the undoubted advantages of the horizontal garter. The lower side of the shoulders will tare the part of the ropes below, and the upper use as a support of the rope of the rope.

Sometimes the scourge abandon the support slightly, and some of the shoots begins to fade down, flap to the main part of the plant. In order to avoid this trouble, the support needs to be made higher.

It should be borne in mind that such a method of garter is not effective for cucumbers who do not give lateral branches - a lot of material is consumed useless.

Vertical probe

Such a garter is used when growing cucumbers with a weakly pronounced side branch. Or in the event that the plant is formed into one stem.

For a vertical garter on the ends of the Grokery set a set. In this case, each seedling rises through its separate support. This method allows to provide cucumbers maximum lighting and fresh air access. It is very comfortable to care for plants, since all the leaves and fruits are in sight.

Vertical garter is recommended to be used when growing cucumbers with a beam type of fruiting.

It is necessary to constantly monitor the development of a seedling. If the plant is not fixed in time on the support on time, then the overgrown top may break under its own weight, as the cucumber is not able to pay to the support without the help of a person. Little side shoots can be challenged to the main central trunk, shading and angry it.

Methods of garters

Options for garters of cucumbers in the open ground there are many. This is a garter on a grinder, on the grid, on separate supports, it all depends on the varietal features of the fruit and fantasy of a person.

Pyramid cucumber garter

One of the low-cost types of cucumber garters is a pyramid. You can build this design in two ways. Several stakes or metal rods need to be connected to the vertices at one point building, therefore, a kind of cone. Speak a garden, giving her a round shape, set the design on it. In a circle, planted seedlings. By whining the support, the cucumbers will turn the entire frame and give the composition an attractive appearance. You can build a pyramid in a different way. In the center of the round bed, we install a wooden pillar. Its height should be at least 3 meters. To the top of the supports attach hooks. Near each seedling we drive one peg. Around one of them, we fix the end of the rope, stretch it through the hook, wind around the next cavoge, stretch over the hook again, thus stretch the rope through all mounts.

This method of garter does not require large material costs.

Garter of cucumbers on the holder

Using tapers for garter cucumbers gardeners most often. Its arrangement does not require special skills. At opposite ends of the beds, two columns are drunk. We associate their upper parts with the help of transverse crossbar. In terms of the number of seedlings, we tie the rope to it. Weiss each plant by fixing the end of the rope under the second sheet and wrapping the top of the stem rope clockwise. It is necessary to support carefully without pulling the rope too much.

The height of the above-ground part of the tag should not exceed two meters, otherwise the cucumbers will be difficult to care for. It happens that the screens grow very long and significantly develop the height of the cholera. In this case, simply transfer the whip on the other side of the support. Slear, consisting of wooden plates, looks very presentable. Due to the fact that the rails are rich in the form of a lattice, the screens are easily fixed on the support.

Overhead parts of wooden chopers are recommended to be treated with 5% copper sulfate solution. This will avoid fungal infections. The ends of wooden pillars intended for injection into the ground are treated with an antiseptic. Particularly resistant opposite supports of the trenches made in the form of the letter "A". They are most suitable for installation in an open space, since they are not afraid of the busting of the wind.

Very effectively placement of plants on a sloping hat. Its frame is located at an angle, thanks to this, all the screens are as high as possible by the sun. On the chopper, the garter material is fixed with a free node or a bow. The free node will allow the length of the rope length. A knot, tied with a bow, will allow at the end of the season to quickly remove and dispose of serving garters. An open plot of land between the trellis is best to climb straw or sawdust. This will help prevent the soil drying, which is extremely harmful to cucumbers.

Cucumber garter on pegs

Growing short-consumable grade cucumbers, you can tapping plants to spicks. To do this, when planting a seedling in the hole, pegs are knocked. The height of the support should be proportionate to the height of the adult plant. After the seedlock reaches the thirty-bentimeter length, it is tested to the peg. This method of garter applies less frequently, since it is not very convenient. But for certain varieties, such a type of garter is preferable.

Garter of cucumbers on the ladder and arches

The ability of cucumbers to swell any supports successfully use garden design lovers. Tied to the garden arch, the longs of cucumbers will not only decorate the plot, but also give a harvest. The use of lianas in decorative purposes does not affect its fecundity. Curly shoots of cucumbers can be combined with other decorative blooming lianas. Such a composition will not leave anyone indifferent!

There are not only arches, but also all sorts of decorative stairs, and ready-made supports for curly plants. All these designs can be successfully used for growing cucumbers.

New and unusual methods of cucumbers

In recent years, framework methods of growing cucumbers are becoming increasingly popular. Liana formation in the form of cells looks very unusual. In order to build a design, you need to cut off 2 meters from the metal mesh roll. Shape it in the form of a cell. The side of the frame should be 50 cm. Install it above the hole, the screens are pulled out, and is tied up from all the outer sides to the grid cells. This composition looks very original, however, care for it is difficult.

Due to the mesh walls of the frame, it is difficult to make a weeping and feeding the plants.

In the same way, you can form a design in the form of a bowl or triangular prism. Of course, the main goal of such experiments is aesthetic.

Cucumber tree

Another unusual method of growing cucumber lianas is the formation of a plant in the form of a tree. To do this, the central escape is distinguished and tied it vertically to a high grinding. Sidelaws are removed to the sides and secure on the bottom of the support. After the appearance of female bandages on the side branches, the screens are raised and tied up closer to the central escape. Excessive processes as they appear are removed. The mustache from the main stem is wandering around the side shoots.

Application of barrels

In small areas, often lacks room for beds. The method of growing cucumbers in a barrel filled with soil comes to the rescue. This composition saves a place and looks very attractive. The vacuum is picturesquely distributed over the surface of the barrel.

Such an unusual gardening does not require scrupulous care, and the harvest is very convenient from it. With a competent garter of a row, from one barrel you can collect a pretty decent amount of cucumbers.

Using natural cholera

If the plot is located on a sunny warm place, you can try to build a natural sleeper. For this, the middle of the cucumber beds are sown with corn or sunflowers. After they raise a little, plant cucumbers seedlings. High sunflower stems will serve as a support for cucumbers, as well as to perform the role of screen, protecting Lian from the wind. Many varieties of cucumbers need pollination, corn and sunflower will attract bumblebees. Another way to create natural trellis is very simple. To do this, it is enough to plant cucumbers on the border of the site, using the fence as a support. Cucumber should not only successfully fulfill the role of decorative plants, but also give a harvest. Of course, care for such a bed can deliver a lot of trouble, but the result is worth it.

You can use any tree, pillar or ledge of the wall as a support for the tar. A little fantasy, and your site will be transformed.

Garter under arcs

You can use arcs as a support. They will completely replace the traditional sleeper. To do this, you need to install them above the bed. Stop rope arcs for garter seedlings. In addition, sketching a piece of observing material on the arc, you can build a real greenhouse. Thus, ideal conditions for growing cucumbers will be created. Breathable material will skip moisture and light, while maintaining heat inside the shelter.

Application nets

The garter of cucumbers with the help of a grid is a very convenient and inexpensive way of garter of cucumbers in the open soil. The method can be called universal, as it combines the advantages of the horizontal and vertical garter. The grid is tensioned on a support consisting of two poles or metal pipes. Poles are bought in the ends of the cucumber bed. The shoulders are tied to the grid cells. You need to try to distribute shoots evenly, providing them with maximum lighting.

Using the grid, you can build supports of any configuration. Plants that make the grid look more attractive than the vacuum fixed with rope.

There are special sleeper grids on sale. They are made of plastic, wires or ropes.

Plastic grid is durable, does not rot and can withstand the weight of the scratched weaves. The metal mesh is also distinguished by reliability, but easily rust, therefore it is not popular. The rope mesh consists of a synthetic fiber, does not rot and has a margin of strength. It is easy to develop and during storage takes little space.

Using plastic bottles

You can tapping the scourge to the support not only with the help of a rope or wire. It is very convenient to use clamps from soft plates. Plastic bottles are perfectly suitable for this purpose. Details of the required size cut out of them, you can easily fix the escape using an ordinary stapler. Such a holder will gently attach the stem to the support and will serve not one year.

Fixtures for garter cucumbers on the garden

There are many devices for fixing and forming cucumber lian. These are various metal, wooden and plastic frames, arcs and trellis, garter materials and hooks. All this can be purchased or done with your own hands.

Ropes for garter cucumbers

The material for the garter of cucumbers should be soft and preferably elastic. The rope for the garter can be made independently. To do this, it is necessary to sew a 3-4 width strips with a width of 3-4 cm. For the same purpose, old categories, twine and even bandages use. There are special materials for plant garters on sale. They are made of thermoplastic rubber. Thanks to the wire rod, this garter is very convenient in circulation.

Despite the fact that for the garter it is customary to use cotton sword, experienced gardeners are recommended to use synthetic material. Under the influence of wet air, the twine from the natural material quickly discourages and rifles. As a result of the accident, Liana turns out to be on Earth. Take the whip again it is unlikely to succeed. Big heavy escape will be inevitably breaking. In addition, it is not recommended to raise the scan. Usually after such a procedure, Escape stops fruit. For garter cucumbers, you can adjust the two-housing insulated wire. He keeps the Liana well and does not succeed under their severity.

Hooks for garter cucumbers

In order to freely adjust the length of the rope, there are hooks for garter cucumbers. With this simple device, you can easily weaken the tension of the support or pull it out. In the middle of summer, the plant is gaining mass, and the garter, holding the whip, saves the escape under the weight. It is at that moment a hook is useful to restore the tension. It happens the reverse situation - the soil with a planted bush settles, and the tension of the rope becomes too strong. This situation can lead to a seedlings. With the help of a hook, you can easily weaken the rope. Another type of hooks serves to support cucumber stems. It helps to facilitate the task of holding heavy weaves.

Errors when godpads in open ground

If the cucumbers did not succeed on time, it is better to leave them to grow in a lying position. Otherwise you can damage the scourge.

Hardware for garter can injure the scourge and bring the plant to death. Very tight loop on the stem can lead to a drying of the shoulder and the death of the entire plant.

Tightening cucumbers during garter

As soon as the height of seedlings reaches 30 cm, we begin to tie them to the support. Every 3 days, the discriminated escape spin around the garter. Touching the stem, focusing in the sun. In order for the escape to turn to the Sun, the twist is spent clockwise, if you look at the beach from above. Gradually, the plant will learn from independently turning to the light.

Sliding the screens, you need to ensure that the locking loop remains free. This will give the opportunity to develop a seedling normally.

Is it possible to grow cucumbers without garter

Of course, the cucumbers can grow and fruit in a griming form. This method of cultivation has the right to life, but need to be remembered about the dangers of seedlings. The lack of light and air weakens the plants and creates prerequisites for the development of diseases. Especially often the bushes are striking the powdery dew. In the rainy summer cucumbers lying on Earth, rot and spoil. There is a risk to stay without harvest. Saplings are attacked by rodents and other pests. Due to the confused mass of stalks and leaves, a significant part of the cucumbers remains not assembled, since they are simply not visible. The plant belongs to the pumpkin family, produces long vacations and has a mustache. Consequently, in nature needs a support. In all circumstances, Liana will cling to the router and the neighboring leaves. As a result, shoots will break and dry.

We discussed many ways of garter cucumbers. Guided by the acquired knowledge and personal experience, you can get a great harvest. The main thing is not to be lazy and believe in your own strength.

There is a method that allows you to increase the amount of fruits collected from the cucumber bed - this is a timely suspension of the plant. If a vegetable culture is free to grow on the ground, then various diseases may develop due to lack of light and air. There are several basic methods of garters that should be carried out regularly.

Vertical probe

Thanks to this method, more seedlings are placed on a small area. It is important to draw attention to the fact that the tapes for tapes should be durable, so that the plants should not break through their own weight.

Before proceeding with the garter, prepare suitable materials. The procedure for performing work:

• Blind of cucumbers Start with baking along the edges of the beds of supports.
• Then, to secure the cord or metal rod between them. Tightening the ropes are needed with effort.
• After that, to him, tie the ribbons or the loskutka fabric by the number of planned bushes. In addition, you can use thin straight branches. The plant will develop, and shoot them.

Horizontal garter

The advantages of this method are that it can be used in a greenhouse and on an open bed. The disadvantages include the limited area, which can occupy muggy leaves, and the instability of very high designs.

This is the most common way to handle bushes. Perform the following steps to encourage the plant vertically:

• At the beginning and end of a row of cucumber landing insert pegs or pipes made of metal.
• Then between them stretch several rows of twine or wire at a distance of about 30 cm.
• Secure the mustache on the lower tier. As the plant has grown, the vacuum will be raised along the support up as the stairs.

Mixed method of garter

The mixed method combines the pluses of vertical and horizontal. It needs to be chosen if the garden is small or cucumbers are grown in a limited space of the greenhouse. This method practically does not have drawbacks, but it is important for the frame to choose durable materials.

According to the reviews of experienced gardens, the garter of cucumbers in a greenhouse or a greenhouse should be mixed, with placed bushes in a circle. Work, follow the following steps:

• In the form of a cone to the ground, take several stakes, and tension a large-scale grid on the resulting frame or attach a sleeper.
• In the hole holes, stretch the cucumber mustache. As the growing vegetable culture, the support will be similar to the slag.

Blindness

Side shoots should be removed from the main stem, preventing excessive expansion. This method will prevent the exhaustion of vegetable culture and increase yield.

You can use the method for both the greenhouse and the garden. The order of garters with the help of "blinding" is as follows:

• Attach the cucumber stem to the inscuffed or tied support.
• After that, do trust, ranging from 0.5 m above the soil, side mustache and shoots. As a result, all nutrients plant will be given to the forming cucumbers, and will also hurt less.
• A bush after trimming is the leaflet located at the bottom of the stem.

Formation of bush

Depending on the variety of vegetable, the formation is different. There are the following types of cucumber culture:

• parthenocarpic - these plants can be used in a greenhouse and in the open space;
• beelandic - for such varieties it is necessary for the presence of insects to be a crop.

In the first case, you often need to make discharging unnecessary shoots, otherwise it will be closely on the garden. For this:

• remove the processes next to the first five cucumber sheets, and leave the six following;
• the rest of the shoots shorten up to 45 cm if they are longer.

Beelandic cultures should grow on an open soil. Forming a bush, it is necessary to carry out that the amount of female colors exceeded the number of men's:

• first, take the first seven sprouts, leave the following two;
• all other shoots do tringed by two sheets.

How to suspend cucumbers in a greenhouse from polycarbonate

From the variety of vegetable depends on what kind of pruning method will be selected. The height of the adult bush and the number of stems with leaves should be taken into account. In any case, always follow the following rules:

• remove extra processes regularly 1-2 times in 7 days;
• stem Boot to the columns along the clockwise arrow;
• to grow in greenhouses, choose self-polling species.

I always grown on my summer cottage plot of cucumbers, and I can say that getting a good harvest is quite simple, if you know the preferences and whims of this unpretentious plant. In fact, there are only two of them - the cucumber loves the sun very much, and it does not need to land where pumpkin grew, zucchini or beets.

As a rule, there are no special problems with growing cucumbers, even newbies, if they comply with some basic rules. Cucumbers are undemanding to the soil in which they grow, love feeding and watering, and thank to abundant harvest for care.

However, I was surprised that not all gardeners know whether to tie the cucumbers, and often ask this question. And they are very surprised, having heard that the yield of cucumber culture directly depends on whether it crawls up the support or confused in the grass on Earth. Do you need to do this and how to suspend cucumbers in the open ground, I want to tell.

The cucumber throws his scooters to a length of up to 2 meters, and even more, and his mustache clings for everything, what they manage to reach - the fence, branches of trees, sticks, high grass stems, any supports that stick out of the ground. Already one this circumstance suggests that this "Liana" necessarily needs a vertical stand.

However, some lovers of vegetables believe that the cucumbers flying through the surface of the soil in the grass get more moisture, they feel great for them and, accordingly, it will be easier to care.

And when they find that the capes of cucumbers or rot on the wet after the rain of earth along with ripened fruits, or dry, rushing in a vain attempt to find a support, or break the growing plants for which they are trying to catch, for some reason very surprised.

Although the most important rule, which is definitely acting when communicating with nature, give a plant what he needed, and it will definitely thank you - it is known to everyone.

The capers of cucumbers are trying to rise up first of all because the sun's rays are vital. It is on bright that the sun grows large leaves, major fruits are tied and the aging period is accelerated. Without good illumination of yields from cucumber culture, you will not wait.

So why to tie the cucumbers who grow in the open ground:

• the capes of cucumbers will grow faster they will become stronger, and fruits will appear faster on them, which are better stored on the branch, and not on Earth, where insects can be lit or spoiled small animals like mice;
• if some of the cucumber weaves get sick and starts to rot or dry, then infections will be more difficult to go to other screens if they grow on the support, and not crawl over damp ground;
• on the support you will be easier to control so that the screens do not grow strongly in different directions and up and not shaded each other, sunbathing from the sun. The cucumbers have very large leaves, and this circumstance is important;
• on the raids that grow vertically, the fruits are better visible, they are not lost in the grass;
• the screens look very decorative on vertical supports and are a real decoration of the garden, especially if the support has an unusual form.

Therefore, the answer to the question is unequivocal: to tie the cucumbers must be necessary, it is one of the main conditions for obtaining a good harvest.

How to plant cucumbers

If you are categorically lazy to make special supports for your cucumbers or pull the grid next to them, you can proceed much easier - just land seeds or cucumber seedlings along the fence from the south side of the site, retreating from it about 15 cm and leaving between the sprouts is approximately the same, or Just more distance.

If you do not encourage the cucumbers and they will crawl on the ground, and not for the fence, then the distance needs to be done a little more, because close to each other, intertwining with each other, will interfere with each other.

But if your seedlings will be able to grow up, pulling out new stems on vertical supports higher and higher, all plants will have enough space, and they will be evenly distributed on the grid, without interfering with each other and not sunbathe sun.

You will need only carefully to bind the screens to the fence, and then they will already be pulled out and secured on this natural support themselves, tightening it with a dense green openwork carpet.

But this is a way or quite for the lazy, or for those people who simply do not have time to work in the garden and garden, so they have to use prickly means.

For those who still decide to pay for their plants a little time, make it easier for them the living conditions and tie their cucumbers, we will tell how to do it right and what methods of cucumbers exist.

At the same time, none of them takes a lot of time, but the result will be just stunning!

Methods of tapping cucumbers

The main ways of tapping cucumbers on the supports of two, and they differ from each other only the location of the ropes for which cucumbers will be placed.

Horizontal way of garter cucumbers

With a horizontal method of garter, your time costs will be minimized, and efforts will need quite a bit. You will need to just take long strong wooden sticks (or metal rods) and score them to the ground from two sides on the sides of the garden, on which your cucumbers grow - two sticks at the beginning of the garden, and two at the end.

Between these wooden or metal supports in several rows, ropes or wire are stretched in such a way that the distance between horizontal rope (wire) rows was at least 40 cm.

In this method, with all its simplicity, there are some subtleties to which you need to pay attention to. It is clear that you cannot score two-meter sticks, and supports with stretched ropes will be much lower - approximately one and a half meters or a little higher.

After the screamers are shooting to the very last rope, they will begin to draw down and close the growing cucumbers from the sun. Therefore, such an abstraction below the upper borders of the leafs should be quenched in such a way that they do not grow further, remaining at the level of the supplied supports.

If you want to make life easier for your cucumbers, make the horizontally stretched ropes are additionally somewhat vertical. Cuccessual weaves in this case will be much easier to rise by supports.

Here, in fact, everything that needs to be done so that the cucumbers grow normally, they felt well, carefully looked and allowed more fruit. As you can see, a lot of time installing a horizontal support will not take, and no difficulties will be manufactured.

Vertical method of tapping cucumbers

With the vertical support will have to tinker a little longer, but believe me, the result is worth it. However, it should not be thought that the manufacture of a vertical support forces only by a specialist. Of course not. After reading the principles of its manufacture and spending some time, any will cope with this task, there would be a desire.

For the manufacture of vertical support, exactly the same wooden sticks or metal pipes are required, as well as for horizontal. A horizontal wire is pulled between these supports along the very top.

Over the entire length of this wire at a distance of about 25-30 cm, it will be necessary to bind the ropes in such a way that they are located vertically and falling down. For each lined bush, you need your rope.

The bottom of each vertical rope should be gently tied to the cucumber stalk near the surface of the soil. The capers of the cucumbers will start gradually climbing the ropes up and it will be very comfortable to grow.

You can, instead of ropes, use wooden sticks near each cucumber, but in this case the vertical supports need too much, especially if you planted a large number of these vegetables.

Blind of cucumbers with special devices

Nowadays you can buy absolutely everything. Including nets for growing fusing plants. With ease, such a mesh can be accommodated for cucumbers. It is comfortable, has many cells and is well suited for the placement of cucumber weaves.

Such a mesh is simply tensioned on vertical sticks and attach to it stalks, which will gradually turn it out.

When need to tie cucumbers

The cucumber seedlings grows very quickly, and the plents begin to stretch almost immediately after planting into the open ground. It is necessary to wait until the height of your cucumbers becomes about 30 cm, and then after that it is already starting to encourage them to support them. Later, the stems will not be so good and the risk will simply be broken.

Other methods of cucumber garters

Methods of tapping cucumbers are a lot, and sometimes in the sections of our gardens you can see the most unusual supports and structures, both horizontal and vertical.

The cucumbers are tied up in the form of a "cucumber tree", making out of the main stem "trunk" and attaching it to the support, and the plenti is bred on the side of the "branches" - down or up, as the owner wants, or just plant cucumbers in the pots.

Sometimes supports put in the form of triangles, giving a building volumetric look.

The cucumbers are planting in high containers of the barrels, of which they are beautifully descending down, they will determine the arbors, terraces and wooden poles.

The cucumbers are attached to arcuate supports and make arches from them, from which fruit hangs fun. Make a V-shaped support, separating the bush into two parts and not letting grow it too thick. It all depends solely from the fantasy of the owner of the garden and from his free time.

Cucumbers belong to pumpkin cultures that can grow up to two meters in height. Many inexperienced vegetables do not pay attention to this feature of the cucumbers and believe that they are not necessary to encourage them. Some people also think that non-tied plants will receive a greater amount of moisture.

However, such an opinion is erroneous, and cucumbers need a support. If you do not bind bushes in a timely manner, they will start drying and breaking. Therefore, before growing such plants, it is necessary to figure out how to suspend cucumbers in the open soil.

Why tapping bushes

Not all gardeners know whether to tie the cucumbers in the open soil. To deal with this, you should familiarize yourself with the main reasons for creating supports for tall bushes.

The garter of cucumbers in the open soil is made for the proper formation of bushes and increase their fruiting. There are also other advantages of using this process of cultivation:

1. If you properly tie the cucumbers, then their vine will grow better, and the processes will become longer. Over time, large fruits and inflorescences will begin to appear on them.
2. The tied plants suffering from certain diseases will still be placed to a healthy vine that will not be able to infected the disease.
3. Bushes, tied to the support, look much more beautiful.
4. The design does not occupy a lot of space, as the cucumbers grow vertically and are not greatly growing.
5. We need to tie the cucumbers in order to quickly collect harsh fruits and not spend a lot of time on their search in the scratched bushes.
6. The garter of cucumbers in the open soil is done necessarily, since in the absence of large bushes will begin to break due to heavy fruits, which will lead to the death of the plant.

Materials and tools

Before taking the cucumbers in the open soil, you should figure out which tools and materials will be needed to perform such work. It is very important to use the most suitable materials that could securely fix the stalks. The garter for cucumbers is created with the following devices:

• bars made of wood or metal;
• strong wire or twine;
• plastic or metal mesh;
• the material for the garter, which will fit tightly to the stalks of bushes.

The new material that needs to tie the cucumbers is selected very carefully, since unsuitable godfinders can harm the brittle and gentle stems.

The best material with which you can accumulate cucumbers, is a cotton fabric. Its strength will be enough for reliable retention of the plant. It is also quite wide and hurts the stalks of bushes. Instead, it is possible to use nylon synthetic fabrics. For example, for garters, spoiled tights are sometimes used. They are durable, soft, well stretched and do not pinch the stem.

Also for the garter of cucumbers can be used special clips, which relate to multiple applying devices. They are made of plastic and are perfectly suitable for maintaining brushes with heavy cucumbers. You can use clips over the years until they break.

People engaged in the cultivation of cucumbers on an industrial scale, better tapping the bushes with a special tool, the principle of operation of which very much resembles a stapler. With it, you can encourage the stem to the support.

Main methods

Many do not know how to better suspend cucumbers. There are two main methods for fixing bushes. Methods of garter of cucumbers in the open soil differ among themselves and therefore it is necessary to consider each of them separately.

Horizontal

To understand how to properly tie the bushes with a horizontal way, you should familiarize yourself with its features.

This method is the most profitable and simple for people who have not previously engaged in growing cucumbers. To do this, you need to score two supports around the bed, which can be used as conventional wooden poles or metal pipes. Between the supports, a strong rope should be pulled in several rows. The distance between them is not done too much and is about 35-40 cm.

To carry out garter, the stems are gently tied to the node to the support from the bottom. When the bushes begin to grow up, several nodes are made on the supports for attaching additional vertical ropes.

The main significant disadvantage of the horizontal method is that the stems that reached the top support will be filled down. So that such a problem does not occur, it is recommended to periodically remove long sprouts or to make a very high support.

Vertical

This simplest method is also often used by gardens. To understand how to make a vertical garter, you should familiarize yourself with the main recommendations.

First, special supports are installed on the edges of the beds. Then in their upper part horizontally stretches the robust rope. It serves as a support for tissue tissue with a width of about 4-5 cm. The number of vertical tissue bands directly depends on how many cucumber bushes grows on the garden.

The lower edges of the strips are tied to the base of the bushes. At the same time, a free loop is done so that the plant can shout without problems and grow up. The vertical garter of cucumbers allows you to plant a garden with a considerable amount of cucumbers.

Instead of tissue strips, you can use special poles-supports. In this case, near each bush will have to arrange several such fixtures to secure the bush.

Unusual ways

There are several methods that are used by gardeners not as often as everyone else.

Cucumber tree

Not everyone knows how to tie the cucumbers in the garden in this way. After its use, tied bushes become similar to ordinary trees.

During the fastening of cucumbers to the supports make a moving loop and tie them to a hatcher. The screens located on the sides are bred in different directions and are attached to the lower supports. When women's ovations begin to appear on them, they can be connected to the main choplet. Take the side and central shoots in such a way that the angle between them is about 50-60 degrees.

Using plastic bottles

Many people who do not know how to properly tie the cucumbers think that for this you need to use only special devices. However, this can be done even with plastic bottles. Plastic is a rather durable and high-quality material, so experienced gardeners use it as a retainer for shoots.

From any plastic bottle, you can make the optimal thickness and length latch. You can attach them to the support using a conventional stapler.

Application of barrels

Many do not know how to fix the cucumber bushes by barrels. This method is used by many dackets when you need to save free space on the site. In this case, the cucumbers sit in the barrels filled in advance prepared soil. Over time, the bushes begin to grow and stretch to the soil.

Garter on arcs

Most people got used to use P-shaped tarts for fixing cucumbers. However, instead of them, plants can be connected to arcs. For this, under the arcs, several ropes are tied to which tall bushes will be tested.

Using natural cholera

This method is one of the simplest, since it is not necessary to independently create and install supports. It is enough to plant cucumbers near the fence that they can be accusing around her and calmly grow up. The only drawback of this method is that in the fall will have to engage in the cleaning of the fence from dried leaves.

Application nets

To crack the bushes, sometimes use a special grid, which can be done independently or purchase in the store. It is perfect for growing plants that are very much. For garter, you can use products with sections of different values. The choice of the optimal size of the grid depends on how big bushes will be cloging to it.

Products are attached to the supports installed at the end of each bed. During growth, the bushes will be attached to the sections of the grid and taking them on the basis.

Common mistakes

• Late garter. The capers of the cucumbers are very fragile and without garter they can break due to the severity of the fruits. If the bushes do not succeed on time, it is better to grow them into the population.
• Tight garter of plants. The shoots of cucumbers should not be tied up too tight, since the stem may suffer because of this. It also leads to a worsening of the nutrition, and sometimes to the death of the plant.
• Application of too hard materials. Ties the stalks of plastic clamps and harsh twine can be damaged by the surface of the shoots. First, these injuries are not thrown into the eyes, but over time they can cause diseases transmitted by fungal disputes.
• Later twisting tops. It must be twisted around the support in a timely manner. If not to do this, the top will start to fall down and will break over time.

Conclusion

During the cultivation of cucumbers, they should be recorded to special supports. Make it is quite simple, therefore everyone will cope with such work. To do this, it is enough to familiarize yourself with all the options for garters of cucumbers in the open soil.
