It is important not only to follow the rules for caring for plants, but also to choose the right neighbors for them.
The fact is that some of them can compete with each other for light and food, while others protect against diseases and pests.
But what to plant next to currants?
As seasoned summer residents note, beautiful and bright flowers will save the fruit bush. We are talking about marigolds, nasturtium and calendula.
They will protect the plant from viruses.
It is worth adding that calendula and nasturtium also protect the harvest from aphids and leaf bugs.
The bud mite can also attack currants. This small pest is very dangerous. You can scare it away by planting garlic and onions.
You can also plant parsley, arugula and other greens nearby, which also repel some insects.
As some gardeners claim, as an experiment, you can plant lentils next to currants. In this case, the bush will please you with larger and tastier fruits.
