Вот ПОЧЕМУ огурцы горчат - и сода тут вообще ни при чём #огурцы #огород

Baking soda for cucumbers: where it really works, and where it's a waste. I'm Nikolai Gonchar, forty-five years in the garden, and today we'll talk about cucumbers and baking soda, straight from the get-go. Three practical examples: spraying cucumbers with baking soda against powdery mildew (a recipe with soap, 1 tablespoon per 10 liters), lightly deacidifying a greenhouse in the fall, and cleaning glass before winter. And four myths that almost everyone believes: that baking soda saves when cucumbers taste bitter, that weekly feeding of cucumbers with baking soda is the best way to do it, that baking soda speeds up seedling growth and disinfects seeds. I'll tell you how to spray cucumbers with baking soda correctly, analyze a baking soda and soap recipe for powdery mildew, and show you why sodium displaces potassium and ruins the soil. Plus, my personal story from 1996, when I got burned myself. Do you use baking soda every week or only when needed?
