The invention provides a cucumber plug 
seedling substrate free of watering a 
nutrient solution and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of agricultural 
seedling cultivation. The preparation method comprises the steps of: mixing 
chicken manure and 
cow dung according to a volume ratio of 1: 4-16, and then inoculating 
earthworm for composting; after foodstuff is completely digested, obtaining loose and porous granulate 
earthworm cast with abundant 
nutrient elements and good air permeability, 
nutrient preserving capability as well as water-retaining property; and then mixing the 
earthworm cast with 
vermiculite according to a volume ratio of 2: 1 uniformly so as to obtain the cucumber plug 
seedling substrate free of watering a 
nutrient solution. The seedling substrate overcomes the disadvantages of low content of nutrient elements, unbalanced content of 
nitrogen phosphorus and 
potassium and insufficient supply of the common earthworm cast in the market. The experiment proves that the root activity, the strong seedling index, the dry and 
fresh weight of the 
plant and the output after the field planting of the 
plant cucumber seedling raised by the seedling substrate are obviously better than the traditional turf and 
vermiculite compound substrate which is watered with the 
nutrient solution. While replacing the turf, the seedling substrate realizes 
resource utilization of the excrement of animals and reduces environment 
pollution. Therefore, the cucumber plug seedling substrate free of watering 
nutrient solution has obvious 
economic benefits, 
social benefits and ecologic benefits.
