What to give currants and gooseberries in spring so that the berries grow the size of cherries: much better than manure
As soon as the first spring rays of sunlight warm the earth a little, you can observe the beginning of the vegetation of currants and gooseberries.
During this period, plants begin to actively absorb the nutrients accumulated in the branches and soil.
What to do to get a big harvest of currants and gooseberries
It is important to remember that the basis of the crop harvest is laid in the summer after the berries have been harvested. It is during this period that flower buds and clusters are formed, but the number of clusters and flowers depends on what kind of fertilizers the plants received last season.
In spring, currants need additional feeding and treatment, mostly potassium and phosphorus. It would be a bad idea to feed currants with organic matter – horse manure, chicken manure – because of the abundance of nitrogen.
In spring, it is useful to feed the bushes with one fertilizer: 1 tablespoon of potassium monophosphate per 1 bucket of water and add 1 liter of solution under each bush.
This is the best thing you can do to increase the yield of all types of currants, as well as gooseberries.
