How to feed currants

It should be immediately emphasized that for full fruiting, currant bushes primarily need potassium and phosphorus.

Without the first microelement, there will not be many ovaries, and the fruits will not be sweet.

Without the second, problems with the plant's root system will arise.

Potassium and phosphorus components are contained in such fertilizer as monopotassium phosphate.

The product is also good because it does not contain nitrogen, the excess of which in the soil reduces the chances of getting large currant berries.

Add 7 grams of potassium monophosphate to a bucket almost completely filled with plain water.

The plant must be watered at the roots with the resulting liquid.
