Currants are one of the most popular garden crops, as the berries are not only tasty, but also healthy.

Therefore, it is worth learning about what important rules will help improve the quality of the harvest.

What should a summer resident remember?

Fertilizers are not always needed

If you overfeed currants, it will not increase the yield and will not affect the quality of the berries for the better, so do not overdo it in this matter.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist, Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , reminds that after planting a bush, currants do not need additional feeding for several years.

But adult currants should be fed at the moment when ovaries appear, and at the very end of the season.

More bees - better harvest

If you want to have a lot of berries, don't forget about attracting bees. To do this, dilute a spoonful of honey in a liter of water and spray the currants with the solution.

Mulching

Currants are among the crops that are in dire need of mulching. This simple trick significantly improves the quality of the harvest.

Sawdust or moss can be an excellent option.
