Everything begins with the selection of seeds, and ends with the determination of the desired scheme for placing future cucumbers on the garden bed. There are agricultural engineering recommendations that must be followed. Let's talk in more detail about the distance factor and its requirements.

What you need to know about cucumbers

The scheme is chosen for a reason. It all depends on the conditions in your area. This also affects where exactly you will grow: on a classic bed or on a high one, in a barrel, ball or on a compost heap.

Cucumbers can be grown both vertically and horizontally, so that its stem lies on the ground. If you need to tie cucumbers, then follow the recommendation to plant plants at a distance of 30 cm in one row. In this case, the stems will stretch upwards, and the ropes will hold on to the upper supports.

For growing cucumbers in a free format so that they lie on the ground, the requirements for the distance between plants are different. It should be 50 cm. The plants will grow by themselves without formation and will bear fruit well.
