There is a secret by which you can increase the sugar content in the berries of red, black and white currants of any variety, and at the same time and increase productivity.

Probably, there is no plot on which there would be currant: black, white, red or pink. And she's usually good at by any stretch. As for the differences between the types of the currants – they are small: red and white, and pink currants (a kind of red) are more sun-loving and love to grow on the higher ground, and black currant and normally grows in the lowlands, loves the slopes, in partial shade the berries will be even bigger.

Taste of white and pink currants are the sweetest, then goes black, but the berries traditionally have the sour taste. By the way, the acid is special and has antibacterial properties. Therefore, in the juice of red currants is possible to preserve all the berries and fruits without sugar.

The proximity of groundwater, soil composition are not critical for the currants, although, of course, best of all, it prefers loams and loose, fertilized soil. Currant seedlings are planted the same way as the seedlings and doing it in the spring or early fall. Contrary to popular belief, currant bushes can be transplanted all year round, in some cases, this improves their productivity, only when transplanting significantly cut the plant. If the Bush is very old, cut it altogether, so you rejuvenate it.

Proper agricultural immediately affects the size, the taste of berries and the number of them. Great value for currant is mulching the soil between the bushes, but make no mistake – do not start doing this in early spring, give the ground a good warm up. Okucia the bushes in the winter with snow on the occasion of sorokogradusnuyu frost and are guaranteed a harvest. Currant loves frequent and abundant watering, fertilizing organic matter. The ground under the bushes to dig not only gently loosen.

Primary prevention against pests and diseases is pouring bushes hot water in early spring, before Bud break, usually do it in the snow. But in this period it can be difficult to approach the bushes, and moreover, they may be partially covered with snow. Therefore, the same result you get if you hold the "action" at the end of November. For currant bushes would be good to make a wooden or metal fence to the branch with ripening berries were not bent down to the ground.

By and large, the taste depends on the variety, but it's always berries with varying degrees of acid. There are a limited number of really sweet of black currant varieties. But there is a way that helps make the berries sweeter.

It is feeding starch, currants very responsive to starch. Moreover, ordinary powdered starch from the store is not an option – this form is almost indigestible for currant. With success you can use potato peels, but it is not the best option, as even fine cleaning can germinate, but not to benefit the currants. Then have to weed the potatoes from under the berry bushes.

Therefore, the best option is the special "bread" fertilizer.

It is prepared in the most ordinary barrel for watering, the process of cooking is by himself, without our participation – just need to pour into the barrel a certain amount of water and for a period of time to put the herbs nettle, goutweed and pieces of stale bread. Prevail needs bread, the proportion is roughly as follows: 70% bread and 30% of green weight. There also can be folded and the potato peelings. To speed up the process and there was no smell, tie a barrel with oilcloth, like the "cap". Approximately three weeks will be ready great fertilizer, which can be used. If necessary you can make another portion.

In this fertilizer the berries get larger than usual and much sweeter, even red currants, not to mention black. Enough to fertilize them berry bushes 2-3 times. First, when the ovary is already large, the second time when the berries begin to catch up, and third time – just before harvest. By the way, "grain fertilizer" is suitable not only for BlackBerry but also for fertilizing vegetables, it increases the yield. And to autumn "filling" of the soil – in this case, simply pour the contents of the barrels evenly across the beds.
