Why experienced gardeners pour boiling water over currant bushes
In some cases, experienced gardeners pour boiling water over currant bushes. But they do not always do this.
Not so long ago, a similar procedure was carried out in early spring to obtain a large quantity of the plant harvest of the highest quality.
But today, the same experienced gardeners and agronomists do not advise doing this.
And all because the climate has changed.
Pouring boiling water over currants in early spring, as experts say, allows them to wake up faster.
Previously, this was done almost immediately after the snow began to melt.
But now, due to changing climate conditions, the procedure is not recommended.
In recent years, winters have become warmer, frosts less severe and shorter in duration.
Under such conditions, the plant does not go into deep hibernation.
Therefore, boiling water can damage swelling buds.
Needless to say, in such a situation there is no hope for a good harvest.
Therefore, let's save the procedure with boiling water until the time when harsh, long winters reign again.
