Many berry bushes can disappoint the gardener with their poor development and weak harvest.
However, in this case, it is necessary to look for the cause of these negative events.
In most cases, this means that we ourselves have made certain mistakes, says landscape designer and agricultural scientist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are the main shortcomings?
Light and air
Currants will not be able to actively bear fruit and develop well if you have chosen a shady area at your dacha for planting. The bush requires sufficient light.
For full development, the plant needs air, but a full draft will only slow down development.
Soil structure
The soil quality must be suitable from the start. Berries will only develop if the soil is light, neutral and loose.
The ideal option would be black soil.
Fertilizers and treatments
Don't forget about regular procedures for treating bushes from pests and diseases. Also, don't forget about adding nutrients.
Thanks to this, currants will be able to produce the highest quality harvest.
