What to do with currants in autumn
Adding Nutrients
There is a simple way to increase the yield of currants with the help of the right autumn fertilizer. For this purpose, it is recommended to prepare a mixture for one bush, which consists of 20 grams of potassium sulfate and 40 grams of superphosphate.
After adding nutrients, we water the currants. One bush requires two buckets of water.
Pest control
It is always worth fighting pests, but autumn treatment is one of the most valuable. The fact is that by spring in this case the problem can be solved.
Therefore, choose any processing method you like.
Mandatory pruning
It is better to carry out the procedure at the moment when the leaves have already finished falling. If you prune the currants correctly, the berries will be much larger and sweeter.
We remove old and diseased parts of the bush. If your currant is more than five years old, then it is time for formative pruning.
