Currants and gooseberries often grow sour rather than sweet. But this is more likely a consequence of improper care of the bushes, rather than varietal characteristics.
Here's how experienced gardeners fix this problem. We'll tell you about a special fertilizer and the procedure for applying it.
While gooseberries are often eaten fresh, currants are often prepared for the winter.
Not every housewife is in a hurry to add extra sugar, which does not make the preparation healthier.
To ensure that these two crops regularly produce a rich harvest of sweet berries, you will need only one natural supplement.
Berry crops simply need potassium for normal fruiting. The quality and quantity of the harvested crop depends on its presence in the soil.
It is not necessary to buy mineral fertilizers for this. Wood ash and potato peelings (potato starch) are an alternative.
Potassium increases crop yields and makes berries sweeter.
To achieve these results, you need to apply fertilizer once every two weeks.
