Cucumber question.

[(Anonymous)]

Growing window sill cukes and I got a question. I know if we are short on insects that you have to pollinate tomatoes using a feather and electric toothbrush cuz they don't give out pollen unless vibrated, is it the same for cukes? The variety is Bush Champion, if that matters.

Pollination shouldn't matter unless it directly specifies that you need up to two plants for cross pollination. Most varieties don't require it, but if your variety does you can just use a cotton swab. No vibration necessary.

I think my mother used to polinate cucumbers or zuccini with a little paint brush. I've never heard of needing vibration (what would that be in nature? I'd think an electric toothbrush would make a very different vibration than a bee).

NAYRT: Tomatoes have this neat little method of distributing pollen, they basically squirt it out all over the bee when the little nub in the middle is vibrate at high frequencies. It doesn't have to be an exact match to the frequency of a bee, any large bee; honey or bumble, buzzing but it does have to be vigorous and real fast. An electric toothbrush is great for the job because the bristles of the brush stimulate the flower the exact same way as the hairs on both bumblebees and honeybees abdomen do.
