Simple Greenhouse Trick Boosts Cucumber Harvest
Grodno Region Greenhouse Gardening: Improving Cucumber Yields with Leaf Removal A Grodno Region gardener recently shared a simple yet effective technique for improving cucumber yields in greenhouses. The gardener, who wishes to remain anonymous, posted a short video demonstrating the removal of lower leaves from cucumber plants to enhance air circulation and sunlight penetration. "It didn't work out," the gardener explains in the video, referring to the initial lack of leaf removal.

The video shows a clear before-and-after comparison, highlighting the improved visibility and accessibility of the cucumbers after the leaf removal. The gardener also notes that the technique will significantly speed up the harvesting process.
