How to properly care for currants in the garden
Place
For currant bushes, you need to find the right place. The plant can be planted under fruit trees, along a fence, but the berries will be sweeter if you plant the bushes in the sun. In partial shade, the berries will grow larger, but sourer.
Currants are planted in different corners of the garden for better fruiting.
Choose a flat area for the bushes; currants do not like any hills or lowlands.
Plant three seedlings in one hole at once. Then the currant bush will be both more powerful and more productive. Such bushes will give much more juicy berries.
Top dressing
For currant bushes, choose potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. Phosphorus will help the berries grow to impressive sizes, and potassium will make them sweeter and juicier.
To prepare the fertilizer, use the following proportions: 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate and superphosphate per 5 liters of water.
