Early cucumbers in the barrel - a great option for those dacities who are bored to breed in their own ordinary beds. This method saves a place in the garden, makes it original, makes it easily to care for the plant and collect the harvest. Let's talk about how to grow cucumbers in a barrel.
1
Prepare a container for cucumbers need early. Choose, as a rule, old metal or wood barrels are rarely selected by plastic containers. The main thing is that the tank height is no more than 2 meters. As soon as snow comes down, the barrel is installed in the selected place, linse the bottom with stones and branches, then put on top of paper and some compost. Pour compost before May, it will settle, and only after the May holidays go to the next layer.

The next layer is soil (you can skip in the garden, buy ready or prepared yourself). It is important that the soil level in the barrel was not lower than 20 cm from the edge, otherwise when the compost and drainage will fall, the earth will fall, and this is already discomfort for seedlings.

Now we prepare the frame on the top of the barrel. For this purpose, either iron bars for greenhouses, curved by arc, or put a barrel of a stick of different lengths, between which durable threads or wire are fixed. You can buy ready-made garden grids or grids, which are sold specifically for climbing cucumbers, or with a frame from a stakenice and hoses build the desired design.

Seedlings in the barrel plant at a high distance: no more than 4-6 small bushes on a 200 liter barrel. Choose healthy seedlings with 2-3 presents. Thanks to the free space, future cucumbers will grow well, and will not leave the empty place. Sit down both seeds and finished seedlings.

Next, the barrel is covered with film (ideally - black), which can be removed in about mid-June. During this time, you can not forget about the timely watering. If the climate is rather wet, then watering may not be frequent. If you live in a dry climate, water your cucumbers every day.
6
Throughout the summer, you have to plug the earth in a barrel, because it settles. Periodically feed the cucumbers in advance by the prepared manure and watered.
As you can see, there are no difficulties in the cultivation of cucumbers in the barrel. But the lot of advantages, because the barrel is an excellent flowerbed of vegetables, and the absence of a weed on the garden. That's all the harvest you are rich!
