The yield of currants can be significantly increased by burying rusty nails under the bushes.

Why bury nails under currants

Not only rusty nails are buried under currants, but also coils of wire, tin cans, and other metal objects.

This is done to saturate the soil with iron, which plays an important role in the life of plants.

Iron deficiency leads to the development of various diseases, including chlorosis, which causes a sharp decrease in yield.
