What should be the care for currants in spring?

Planting any plant or bush on your plot does not mean that you will have a big harvest. In most cases, people lose the fact that they need to monitor and care for their crops. After all, there are fruits that are so capricious that their care must be perfect.

Let's talk about how to care for currants in the spring and what basic rules need to be followed.

Basic rules for caring for currants in spring:

• buds that are damaged by mites (this will be noticeable) need to be trimmed;
• if the buds or entire branches are damaged, then it is better to cut the bush to the base;
• It is very useful to dig up the ground around the bush and sprinkle with humus or manure;
• the plant is moisture-loving, so watering should be frequent;
• Weeds need to be trimmed 3-4 times a month, because they interfere with growth and spoil the soil;
• It is necessary to trim the bush and shape it.

In principle, caring for currants in the spring is not as difficult as it seems. Probably the most difficult stage of care is the winter period of currant growth. Because she doesn’t like the cold and can’t stand it very well.

The most important thing that can be highlighted from the above is watering, especially during drought (if it rains quite often, then watering can be stopped). It is also very important for currants - fertilizers of various nature and type; The main thing is that the fertilizer does not touch the branches (the base of the currant), but is sort of around it and deep into the soil.And also - this is directly caring for the bush itself, pruning it, eliminating mites, pruning diseased buds, etc.
