In spring, many plants in the garden need fertilizing, which provides them with nutrients and strengthens the immune system.
Gardeners also fertilize currants in the spring. They do this soon after the garden is finally free of snow cover.
Spring feeding for currants
Summer residents speak positively about fertilizer from potato peels. Top dressing from it makes berries larger, sweeter, and the bush itself looks healthier and stronger.
Potato peelings contain a large amount of nutrients, minerals, vitamins: potassium, vitamin B, magnesium, sodium, glucose, ascorbic acid and a little phosphorus.
How to use
Potato peelings are scattered under the bush and covered with a layer of compost, or a powder is prepared from the peel.
The peelings are collected throughout the fall and winter, partly in the spring. The peel is dried and then ground. The powder is stored in glass jars in a dry place until use.
1 liter of fertilizer is added under one bush. If the soil is dry, then the plants are watered, and then additionally compost or humus is scattered.
The advantage of the powder is that it allows plants to absorb nutrients faster. Peelings in their usual form take longer to rot, but the effect is the same.
