Plant in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sun. Water the soil frequently to maintain an even moisture level, and mulch to keep moisture in the soil and keep weeds out. In order to keep the fruits off the ground and encourage air circulation, provide support with trellises or stakes. Use a balanced fertiliser and apply it on a regular basis. When the cucumbers are about the size of an egg, harvest them; pick often to promote continuous production.
