What to plant between currant bushes to keep pests away from the garden: the answer will surprise many
Getting rid of hard-to-eradicate insects in the garden is not an easy task.
There are not many varieties that are not attacked by dangerous pests.
Gardeners have to find all sorts of ways to protect plants from insect attacks.
Protecting currants from pests
Use sticky traps to protect currant bushes from invasion by glassworms and emerald beetles.
Insects live not outside, but inside the branches and gnaw through their core. It is useless to use complex preparations against them: they help only for a short period of time.
It is enough to hang several pieces of cardboard on the bushes during the flowering period of the currant bushes, and you will see that almost all crawling and flying pests, including moths and fireworms, will stick to them.
Another step to success is planting tomatoes between the currant bushes. The trick is that because of the specific smell of tomato leaves, pests will be afraid to approach the currants and fly around the garden.
In addition, one more preventive measure should not be ignored – annual pruning of bushes. Avoid thickening of plantings, contact of branches of neighboring bushes with each other.
