Be sure to trim the leaves with garden scissors so as not to damage the plant. Remove 1-2 sheets at a time. That'll be enough to cheer up the zucchini.



Mulching and feeding Mulch helps the plant to bear fruit and grow longer. Especially in hot weather, mulch retains moisture in the soil where the plant is planted. For this, you can use sawdust or hay. Feed zucchini twice a season. Feeding can be bought ready-made in the gardening store or make fertilizer yourself. For example, mullet or peat fertilize the soil of squash, diluting 1 kg of fertilizer in 10 liters of water. For one bush, 1 liter of solution is needed.
