I am planning a rich harvest of currants in the coming year, because I water the bushes in October with a special mixture.

Feeding currants in autumn This is the right step towards a generous harvest next year. After all, during the summer, plants consume a significant amount of nutrients, so with the arrival of autumn, it is important to fertilize the soil. We will tell you what tools are best to use and how to conduct fertilization correctly.



To get a good harvest of black, red or white currants next year, you need to conduct autumnal. There are many different remedies that will provide large and quality berries. October is the right time to recharge.

Few gardeners are aware of the benefits of starch. In fact, this is one of the most effective ways to feed currant bushes. It contains potassium, which is significantly improves plant yields.



They are using these feeds in October. If in the autumn months the soil is saturated with starch, in the spring the currants will absorb everything necessary and useful from the soil. Potassium from starch will increase the yield and its quality,planterSo that they can easily overwinter.

And here is the recipe for making starch feeding:

The ingredients

• 200-300g potato starch
• 13 liters of water

Preparation and application

1. In a container with 3 liters of water, add starch.
2. Then let the mixture boil, add 10 liters of water and mix well.
3. This feeding should be enough for 4 large currant bushes. It turns out about 3 liters for each bush.

Feeding chicken litter Another way for fans organic fertilizer. This fertilizer can be applied under dugout, that is, in dry form (0.8-1 kg per bush), and in the form of a solution (1 to 15). Of course, one chicken litter will not be enough.



A little later, it is desirable to make 1 tablespoon (15-20 grams) of potassium sulfate (or potassium salt) in the trunk circle (under dugout), as well as 2 tablespoons of superphosphate (about 30-40 grams) per 1 bush. You can prepare liquid feeding, dissolving the same amount of fertilizer in 10 liters of water.

Feeding with phosphorus-potassium solution is responsible for growth and rootingand its resistance to frost and resistance to disease.

The ingredients

• 30-40 g of ammophos fertilizer (52% phosphorus, 12% nitrogen)
• 1-2 cups of ash
• bucket

Preparation and application

1. On a bucket of water we take about 2 tablespoons (30-40 grams) of fertilizer. First it is better to dissolve it in a separate container in hot water (but not boiling water). It is necessary that the granules dissolve well.
2. We also add wood ash. A bucket of water will need about 1-2 cups of ash (100-200 grams). It's a good mix.
3. Under the bush, depending on its age, pour 1-2 liters of solution. If the bush is very large, you can apply up to 5 liters.
4. Then we loosen the soil and apply mulch so that a crust does not form on the surface.

Another good option is liquid feeding using mineral fertilizer.

The ingredients

• 1/2 tbsp urea or nitrate
• 1 tbsp potassium sulfate or potassium sulfate
• 2 tbsp superphosphate

Preparation and application

1. In a bucket of water dissolve 7-10 grams of urea or nitrate. There we also add potassium sulfate or potassium sulfate and superphosphate.
2. Under the young bushes pour 1-2 liters of solution. If the bush is an adult, you can apply up to 5 liters.
3. Then it is necessary to loosen and mulch the soil so that a crust does not form around the bushes.
