In order for currants to be reliably protected from any kind of diseases and insects, special procedures are usually carried out after fruiting.

As a rule, we are talking about fertilizing, abundant watering and pruning.

Also, one should not forget about proper processing, reminds the scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".

What should I treat the bush with?

The first thing you need to do is find real laundry soap, which was used by housewives of the past. It must be dark in color, since only such soap can be fully called high-quality.

We will need to grate 50 grams of the product. It is better to dissolve it in warm water and only then pour it into a bucket.

Then you need to add about 200-250 grams of ash.

You can also add copper sulfate for greater effectiveness. One spoon of the product for the specified volume will be quite enough.

Afterwards, we treat our berry bushes with a broom. A small amount of the composition should also get on the soil.

It is advisable to carry out the procedure in autumn.
