Currants are among the most popular garden plants because they are unpretentious and highly productive.
But even this plant needs minimal care. To ensure that the harvest is always at its best and pests do not bother, it is necessary to carry out treatment.
Special preparations are not needed for this. Experienced gardeners improve and protect currants with the help of a folk remedy.
Currant solution
Baking soda helps gardeners not only fight pests, but also protect plants from fungal diseases.
The solution is used in spring, as soon as the last snow melts. The solution should be applied before flowering begins.
How to prepare and use
When the last piles of snow have turned into a puddle, start preparing the solution. Use 2 tablespoons of soda per 1 liter of water. Add a little laundry soap to the solution.
The resulting liquid is poured into a sprayer and the product is applied to the leaves. About 3-4 liters of solution are needed for one adult bush. Each shoot and leaf is carefully sprayed. Spraying is carried out in the morning or evening, when the sun's activity is minimal.
