I share a useful recipe for feeding Gooseberries. Thanks to her, Triple the harvest this year without any hassle
Gooseberries are a wonderful berry. But it just seems sometimes that it was planted in vain - it’s offensively enough to keep up with such thorny, and even capricious bushes.
I was in such mixed feelings for more than one season, until I learned from a neighbor how to feed gooseberries correctly! Just one recipe is enough to surprise!
But first of all, the gooseberry needs to be properly prepared - to wake it up after wintering so that it is able to take feeding well.
To do this, in the earliest spring, the earth barely thaws, you need to loosen it and add 5 kg of humus per square meter. m.
After a couple of weeks, but strictly before the buds bloom, the rosehip needs this mixture:
25 g superphosphate;
15 g of urea;
10 g of potassium sulfate.
All this must be applied strictly after watering - otherwise the root system of the bush will get burned. These funds will strengthen the immunity of the gooseberry, enhance sap flow and shoot growth, that is, they will thoroughly prepare it to get one hundred percent benefit from the future main feeding.
When the gooseberry blooms, it is time to prepare the top dressing according to the "secret" folk recipe.
This requires:
1. Dissolve 1 tsp in 1 liter of milk whey. l. sour cream.
2. Add 10 g of live yeast to the mixture.
3. Dilute the composition with 10 liters of warm water.
The resulting mixture must be infused for 7 days in a warm place. And then you can water the gooseberries. For one bush, you will need to take 1 bucket of clean water, into which about 0.5 liters of infusion should be added.
So that nutrients, and especially yeast, retain their specific activity longer in ground, it should be mulched with gooseberries - with peat, mown dried grass, sawdust or straw.
These actions are quite enough to provide yourself with an excellent gooseberry harvest in the current season. But the most experienced and intelligent gardeners take care of their plantings even after the harvest - creating, so to speak, the "foundation" for a successful next season.
Based on personal experience, I feed the culture with a superphosphate solution - 30 g per 10 L of water. This substance not only promotes budding for next year, but also compensates for the lack of phosphorus and potassium in a plant depleted by past fruiting. Due to this, the gooseberry hibernates safely.
