The fact that currants need mineral “support” in the autumn period of time is usually beyond doubt.
This helps the shrubs cope with the cold during winter, meet their nutrient needs and guarantee a good harvest next year.
However, it is worth remembering that you need to adhere to certain rules so that the culture gets maximum benefit.
What points should be kept in mind?
Dosage
Sometimes it may seem to novice gardeners that nothing will happen from an excess of nutrients: after all, these are useful components.
This is a misconception.
If the recommended norms are exceeded, the root system risks getting burned.
For application of dry fertilizers
It is worth remembering that this method is quite good. But first of all, it is worth watering. Only after that we distribute fertilizers.
If the soil is dry, then fertilizers will not have much effect.
Features of the root system
It is important to exercise some caution during the loosening process after adding nutrients. The fact is that the roots of currants are very close to the surface of the earth.
