The September currant dressing for a large crop next year
After harvesting currants need a good dressing in order to gain strength and is easy to spend the winter. Here's harvest, it is already possible to prepare fertilizer.
Many on the internet recommend slightly loosen the soil around the bush to improve the access of oxygen, and even arrange a burial radius around the rhizomes to 70 cm from the base of the bush. Pour water in the deepening and spread mullein. But we never did.
My grandmother blackberries watered only once a month starting in May and ending in August. Well, if the dry September, then in September should definitely watered, not to dry out and lose strength before hibernation. Currant was big and gave a good harvest. But we do not just watered water.
Now there is some good fertilizer for the lazy, you can pour them and do not bother with organics. For example, liquid superphosphate:
The bucket of water dissolve 10 grams of urea or ammonium nitrate. Then add thereto 20 g of potassium salt or potassium sulfate and 40 grams superphosphate. For shrubs, which is more than 3 years, you need 5 liters of fluid. For the young bushes enough to 2 liters. Watering is necessary not at the root, and around a bush in the grooves.
But organic for us - free fertilizer. Of course, we mullein solution is necessarily at least in the spring and fall once used. But in the rest of the time in different ways, and a tincture of green with the addition of ash, and mulched at all times. Recent years, and currants, and raspberries mulching mostly lupine. Pereprevaet quickly and can be poured over the infusion lupine roots rich in nitrogen.
Now, after digging potatoes is likely to be a lot of little things. We separate small potatoes and hoe crumble or you can mince. It is not necessary to soak it, just mix with ash and pour around the currant bush. On top, you can also fill pereprev or a layer of earth. Pour a bucket of water carefully. Through three days can be watered once a bucket of water, or better still pre-cooked green tincture of lupine and other species. Here it is enough to us to ensure that every year to receive a good harvest and healthy leaves for tea.
Thanks in advance for your husky, and subscribe to the channel;)
