Sometimes we repeat the same recommendations regarding the care of currants that we heard from our grandparents.
But they are not always 100% correct.
Practice and scientific experience show that sometimes such habits may not be entirely correct, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What are the 3 habits worth remembering?
Shadow and sun
Many people know the golden rule: currants can only be planted in the sun, as they do not tolerate shade well. This is, of course, a fair statement.
But at the time when the recommendation was relevant, there was rarely such scorching heat as now. Therefore, you need to choose a place with light shade so that the currants are protected from aggressive sun rays.
Loosening
Many people continue to loosen the soil the old-fashioned way on a regular basis, which creates the risk of damaging the root system. Also, because of this, the moisture dries out extremely quickly.
Therefore, instead of this procedure, it is better to consider the mulching option, which seems more logical and useful.
The controversial benefits of organic fertilizers
Some gardeners simply don't know when to stop, so they use organic fertilizers too often. As a result, you can get beautiful currants with practically no harvest.
Therefore, this type of fertilizer can be safely applied only once every three seasons. But you can use prepared humus or even compost as mulch.
