Currant is a berry bush that can be seen in almost any suburban area. The plant produces tasty and very healthy fruits.
But if you want to harvest in buckets, it is important to carry out preventive treatments against pests in the spring.
Many gardeners use regular baking soda for this purpose, which not only gets rid of parasites and fungi, but also helps get rid of weeds and increases the fruiting of the bush.
The solution is easy to prepare. However, it is important to consider that the components cannot be mixed in metal containers, as this leads to oxidation.
You need to dissolve 2 tablespoons of soda ash in a liter of warm water (about 40 degrees). It won't hurt to mix a spoonful of liquid soap into the solution. Grated laundry soap in the same amount will do.
Once the solution is mixed, you can move on to foliar treatment of leaves and twigs.
The procedure should be carried out before flowering begins. The weather should be cloudy but windless.
You can also prepare root dressing based on soda. To do this, take 4 tablespoons of soda and a spoon of yeast per bucket of clean water. Before using such a product, it is important to moisten the soil in advance.
As a result, this folk remedy preserves the health of plants and provides an abundance of healthy treats.
