Many summer residents and gardeners grow black currants on their plots.
However, the berry bush does not always please with large fruits and a bountiful harvest.
Let's figure out what needs to be done in the fall to enjoy large and tasty berries next year.
Mandatory manipulations with black currants
In the fall, after harvesting, it is necessary to dig up the entire garden to ensure the soil is permeable to air, and also add double superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
Don't forget that black currants require a lot of watering: 3 liters of water should be poured under each bush.
And the main tricks that allow you to get berries the size of raspberries are as follows:
- at the end of October it is necessary to carry out sanitary pruning and remove damaged, diseased and old branches of the bush;
- The soil around the bushes must be mulched to protect them from the effects of low temperatures.
If really severe frosts are expected, do not disdain agrofibre cover.
