| Zucchinis likes:- compost, mulch and to be feed liquid fertilizer once a fortnight, don't over water as the plant will rot. It's also a good idea not to overhead water Zucchinis in the summer as this will cause mildew, best to hand water around the roots. If you are going to overhead water it would be best to water early in the morning. | |
