Not all folk remedies are equally hopeless. Some developments are good because they can be used in periods between the main types of feeding.

Another advantage is the ease of preparation and availability of supplements to the widest segments of the population.

Experienced gardeners told what to do if currants are falling off.

It is clear that we are talking about soil depletion and a lack of nutrients.

In this case, the most ordinary potato starch will help.

How to proceed

You will need 250 grams of starch and three liters of water.

Dissolve the powder in water and bring it to a boil.

Then the finished concentrate must be dissolved in 10 liters of water.

Fertilizer consumption is 5 liters per bush, but several such feedings will be required.

When to fertilize

The first time it is recommended to water the bush with starch during the budding period.

The next feeding is carried out during the appearance of ovaries, and the last one during the growth and ripening of berries.

What does this give?

Folk feeding will provide currants with potassium and phosphorus in an accessible form.

Thanks to this, you can improve the flowering of the bush, increase the yield of berries, and at the same time improve the quality of the harvest.

Summer residents also say that fertilizing prevents flowers and ovaries from falling off and generally strengthens the plant.
