I use a the liquid that comes off my wormery compost, works really well. u can make it by mixing home made compost with water and leave it for a week.

I give mine a general purpose feed initially (something like miracle grow) then when the first fruits appear, I switch to tomato feed. Works for me - although I start mine off indoors, I do transfer them outside when bigger. Nan x

Hi, Cucumbers need plenty of nitrogen so any high nitrogen fertiliseris ok. I give mine an occasional feed of sulphate of ammonia until the fruits begin to form then continue feeding with a more balanced fertiliser.

I use nettles! Plenty of them about usually. Gather them up and stick them in a big bucket and cover them with water. Leave them for about a week, stirring occasionally if you like. They really stink, but use the "juice" for fertilising just about anything that needs it. I mainly use it for tomatoes.

the nettle fertiliser is a fab tip, would i use it neat or dilute it ?

If you really can't stand the smell of rotting nettles, or don't have that many nettles (?), any liquid fertiliser made from seaweed is really excellent for anything that grows, from beans to roses inclusive.
