This method may seem strange at first glance.

In fact, this helps improve the immunity of currants, and the method also promotes the survival of bushes and increases yield.

The only important thing here is to use boiling water correctly and not to overdo it.

Scalding should be carried out in early spring, before the buds appear on the shoots.

The watering procedure is extremely simple; even a novice gardener can handle it.

You just need to fill the watering can with boiling water and quickly pour it over the plant. It is important that the water does not get on the roots, but you can water the soil around the bush. The process should not take more than 5 seconds.

Experienced gardeners also note that instead of hot water, you can use garlic tincture, copper sulfate, potassium permanganate or pine extract.

They will also be effective and will have a positive effect on the condition of the plant.

As a result, berries can be collected in buckets during the season.
