How to prune courgettes in the garden to have a rich harvest: the infallible farmers’ method (Page 2 ) | July 31, 2024

It is not enough to give water and sun to our plants: we must also do our part by helping ourselves with tricks and substances not present in nature. The best way to promote the growth of our plants is with the help of a fertilizer, preferably a natural one. You should stay away from the chemical ones that are on sale in many shops: they can be toxic and inconclusive. In addition to this, there are secrets that few people know and are simply manual tricks . This is how farmers encourage the birth and growth of courgettes.

The farmer’s trick: here’s how to prune courgette plants

This method is foolproof if we don’t have much space in the garden or if we want to make better use of it . Zucchini are vegetables that come from a very voluminous plant full of showy leaves. We must try as much as possible to eliminate the largest and most inconvenient branches and prune them : this will absolutely not affect the correct growth of the courgettes. In fact, these are very large stems that make our gardening activity and even trying to take care of courgettes quite inconvenient.

These leaves are so large that they consume all the plant resources in the soil . Therefore, we can say with certainty that they are quite useless and a hindrance to the nourishment of courgettes . We must proceed with cutting them, paying attention to the stem. However, it will be a good idea to leave the new leaves for a little longer. Recognizing the new ones is simple: they have a much lighter green color than the old ones . By relieving the plant of all this foliage, we will make it healthier. The consequence will be a proliferation of courgettes at levels never seen before: many more will be born thanks to the available space .
