Which fertiliser for cucumber plant?

Hi

I usually use tomato fertiliser for most of my vegetables, this year have started growing cucumbers in greenhouse, just wanted to ask can I fertilise it with tomato feed? I also have sea weed liquid fertiliser I could feed it with?

Thks

Yes.

Do be aware that too much fertilizer can kill plants. Use as per the instructions on the container and you will be fine.

Tomatoes are heavy feeders and cucumber are moderate feeders. Any complete fertilizer will do as long as you don't over do it.
