	Preparing the soil in the greenhouse or garden beds	Digging, loosening is carried out. If necessary, sawdust, rotted leaves, hay are mixed with heavy soil in a ratio of 5: 1
	Hole preparation	Should be at a distance of 30 cm
	Fertilizers	Humus, peat or 10 g of nitrogen fertilizers are applied to each well
	Moisturizing	Every hole spills deep
	Transfer	Produce very slowly, transferring from the container to the hole, without damaging the roots
	Watering	Spill each plant, providing fluid well
	Sun protection	Planted cucumbers can quickly fade in the bright sun, so it is better to plant them behind a small row of tall plants or shade them, covering them with a non-thick covering material
