It is difficult to find a summer cottage where there is not at least a currant bush.
After all, the plant produces not only tasty, but also very healthy fruits, which can serve not only as an excellent snack, but also as a basis for preparing winter preserves.
However, many gardeners are faced with the fact that currants bear fruit very poorly.
You can avoid problems if you know a few tricks.
As summer residents note, even before planting berry bushes, manure should be put into each hole. After planting, the plants should be fed again.
If the leaves are large and there are still no berries, then ash or phosphorus-potassium products should be used as fertilizer.
In cases where the air is hot and dry for a long time, shading nets can be used.
The bush does not like acidic soil. The soil condition can be improved with ash or dolomite flour.
Another reason for a poor harvest may be that the plants have not been watered for a long time.
Experienced gardeners also say that the age of the bush also affects its yield. If the currant is more than 10 years old, then you should not expect a bountiful harvest.
