Almost everyone has at least a few currant bushes at their dacha, as the berries are very tasty and healthy.

After fruiting has finished, currants need to be provided with proper care.

Otherwise, the berry harvest next year will be poor.

What mistakes do many summer residents make in August?

Pruning is done too early

Do not rush this procedure, as it can harm the currants. If you do not do it correctly, the harvest next year will be extremely poor.

Nitrogen

It is important to remember that there is an acute need for this substance only at the beginning of the season. In August, there is no need to introduce nutrient compositions that contain nitrogen.

If the currant shows a significant nitrogen deficiency, then it should be introduced before the middle of the month.

Organics

Many consider organic compounds to be the most useful, but they should not be applied in August. In August, this procedure should be abandoned.

It is better to apply organic fertilizers in the fall or at the very beginning of the next season.
