Modern gardeners have access to a variety of methods for caring for crops growing in the garden.

Some people choose to buy products from a gardening store, while others prefer folk methods.

We will talk about one of them today – namely, the benefits of starch for currants.

You have probably met plant growers who use potato peelings as fertilizer, and perhaps you yourself are one of them.

The peels left after peeling potatoes are buried under currant bushes or simply laid out nearby.

It is believed that thanks to this trick it will be possible to collect a large harvest of large berries.

And the experience of practical gardeners confirms this theory - gradually potato peelings begin to decompose, turning into humus, which the plant will break down into water, carbon dioxide and other components.

With root feeding, currants will be saturated with mineral salts, which will really lead to large berries.
