• Plant in a well-drained soil that has moderate organic content.
  • Enrich light soils with compost.
  • If compost is unavailable feed plants regularly with fish emulsifier or an organic all
    purpose fertilizer.
  • Keeping cucumbers picked during growing season increases yields as plants do not
    waste energy with extended seed production.  
  • Keep an eye out for pests and mid to late summer leaf blights.
