Experienced summer residents and gardeners have their own bag of tricks for every occasion.
For example, feeding currants. It is enough to add one of the proposed additives to collect a rich harvest of large berries in the new season.
We are talking about organic fertilizers that any land owner can stock up on for autumn.
Selection of fertilizers
You will need compost, ash or humus. The supplement should be added in the fall so that the plant can absorb the missing nutrients by spring.
Fertilizers act in different ways. For example, compost is rich in all the substances necessary for normal growth of the bush.
Ash, rich in potassium, improves the quality of berries and strengthens the plant’s immunity; humus qualitatively improves the soil structure.
Overall, this all has a positive effect on crop yields.
How to proceed
Before applying fertilizer, remove weeds and plant debris.
Loosen the soil, add nutrient additives and work them into the soil. Water the currants and cover the roots with a layer of mulch.
For reference
Currant - the scientific Latin name of the genus comes from the Arabic word Ribas (a plant with very sour leaf stalks - rhubarb). The Russian name comes from the root "smorod", "stench" and is given for the pronounced smell of the plant's leaves.
