Cucumber Feed

[sewer rat]

I wonder what my fellow grapes use to feed their cucumbers. I know that in the past I have used Tomorite , or an organic version of the same, and it's make up is 18-0-36 or thereabouts.
I have found a dedicated cucumber feed that has the make up 36-0-12.
Anyone any comments on feeding cukes

Sounds ok. I'd certainly be interested in the answers, I've only been told about using tom feed. Is it expensive Rat? My budget dictates a lot of what I use on my plants

In which case I recommend Comfrey tea -try this thread

I was hugely surprised to read cucumber plants should be fed high nitrogen feed, not high potash feed. Well. Knock me over with a flying feather why don't you....
No, I'm serious.... You live and learn. Thankfully so.

Wellie, I too, am hugely suprised to read that! Nettle tea instead then?
