Mistake when watering red currants

When watering a crop, a summer resident should in no case save water.

Especially at the time when ovaries are formed on the plant.

Lack of moisture during this period is almost a 100% guarantee that the fruits will be small.

How to water red currants correctly

Watering should be done regularly, especially in early summer, when the ovaries appear, and in midsummer, when the berries are filling out.

For each square meter you should use 2-3 buckets of clean liquid.

It is desirable that the soil be moistened to a depth of 0.3-0.4 meters.

Following all these recommendations increases the chances of forming large berries.
