The choice of landing site and pre-plant work
Gooseberry grows well and bears fruit in the loam and sandy loam. However, in acidic soils and wet, he did not survive. Where made gooseberry planting, should be a lot of sun. This is a prerequisite for the future development and good resistance to fungi.
The plot is dug, using rakes and forks carefully vychosyvayutsya of the upper layer of the roots of weeds, especially - wheatgrass. If weed control in one step did not produce the desired results, it will have to repeat the following digging.
If planting is carried out in the autumn of gooseberries, the best timing will be the end of September and beginning of October. In this case, planting has time to take root before the first frost. If the landing occurs in the spring, it is necessary to do it before bud burst.
The optimal composition of the soil in the fitting hole of 0.5 m wide and 0.4 m deep will be a mixture of sand and clay. In the case of the predominance of clay I have to add the river sand, and vice versa, in a purely sandy soil to add clay. Additionally, the need to make a pit about two buckets of compost or peat, about ash cup and a small amount of compound fertilizers.
Before planting, you need to inspect the plant for the removal of the damaged or dry shoots. Too long the roots of a better crop. Pruning gooseberry performed using secateurs. Good pre-rooted shrub soaked in an antibacterial drug solution. For example - "Barrier".
If you plan on planting a large number of hives, the distance between plants in rows must be at least one and a half meters, and between rows - up to two meters.
