Next to what you cannot plant Currant, otherwise you will be left without a Harvest at all
I am used to planting everything so that every piece of land can be used rationally and with maximum benefit. Currant is a favorite berry, so naturally, its numerous bushes grew closely.
But for several years they did not please with the harvest, they only upset! And then it turned out that all this was not due to mistakes in grooming, but due to the wrong neighborhood with some other cultures!
So the garden with the garden had to be seriously changed and now I want to share this useful experience with other farmers!
Blackberries and raspberries
Possessing a developed root system, these plants quickly develop the nearest territory and actively extract nutrients from the soil. Thus, the weaker neighbors have little to gain.
You can, of course, lay more fertilizers so that there is enough for everyone - but then this will no longer benefit all the berries.
Gooseberry
Theoretically, it can coexist perfectly next to currants, but unfortunately, they have common pests. The most vicious of them is the gooseberry moth.
Moreover, usually for the first time it is announced on the gooseberry and if only the gardener misses the moment a little - it applies to currants.
Moth can even kill a shrub, especially if it is young or weakened after a freezing winter.
Juniper
Like the gooseberry, according to the characteristics of its biology, it does not harm currants - these plants can share water and nutrients. But the juniper, unfortunately, is prone to fungal diseases, which currant lovers should be afraid of like fire.
First of all, rust is a threat. In my opinion, these two plants are generally best planted as far apart as possible.
Pear
Based on personal experience, I can say that a pear perfectly knows how to draw water out of the ground! One dry summer, I generously watered the currants, but it all seemed that it lacked moisture.
Fortunately, these were just young seedlings and I managed to move them. In a word, I do not recommend planting any moisture-loving crops near the pear.
As for the compatibility of various varieties of currants, then red and black should be placed at a distance for the reason that the former loves sunny areas, and the latter, a shade is desirable.
But the white currant, since it is the closest relative of the black one, perfectly coexists with it. And you can also plant white and golden currants next to red.
