SUBSTANCE: method of growing vegetables and gourds comprises placing the seeds in a mixture of soil and fertiliser in the pot decomposing in soil, seed germination and embedding the pot into the soil. The pot is made of clay minerals with sorption and ion-exchange properties. The fertiliser is used as sorption-active silt deposit recycled by enzyme-cavitation method. Before placing in a pot the seed is soaked in electrochemically activated solution, after which the mixture of soil and fertiliser is adjusted to a moisture content of 70-80%. Along with this, the further is additionally used as granular minerals-ionites. In preparation of the activated solution the concentrate of liquid complex fertiliser is added to the source water in an amount of 2-3% by volume. During the vegetation period of vegetable crops they are watered with the activated water.
