Collect Currants in Barrels: Simple Tips to Help Increase the Harvest
Every summer resident has at least one currant bush growing. And for good reason. The fruits are not only tasty, but also very healthy.
But not everyone can boast of a generous harvest.
In this case, you need to follow some tips on growing currants in order to collect buckets of berries year after year.
It is necessary to take care of the plant's comfort even during the planting of the bush. Manure should be put into the planting hole. The same fertilizer should be added after the bush is planted.
If there are still few berries in the summer, this may indicate a deficiency of phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers should be applied periodically.
Another reason for the poor harvest is lack of moisture.
It is important to water the plantings periodically. You can use mulch to prevent moisture from evaporating too quickly.
In addition, it is important to remember that currants will not yield a harvest if they grow on acidic soils. The situation can be corrected by adding ash or dolomite flour.
