So, currant and raspberry crop harvested, rolled up to the banks to the cold winter, now is the time to thank toilers! behind bushes care is included in the compulsory program, so that they delighted us for a long time useful berries.
What should be done with a currant
- Well watered! Especially demanding black currant, it prefers moist land. It will need to shed a good in August and September. If the summer is dry, it is necessary to arrange an additional session in October. We shed at the rate of 4-5 buckets per 1 square meter. I recommend watering in the morning or evening when the sun has gone.
- Top dressing is held in September-October, before watering. In one bush take 10 kg of decomposed manure or compost, plus add 40 g of potassium chloride and 100 g of superphosphate. Nitrogen is not exactly need to make! We reserve until the spring when the new leaves are formed.
- Pruning currant helps form the crown. All branches over 6 years to be clean, they have reduced fruiting. One bush should be no more than 15 branches, of which more than one-year should remain at least at the 2 units than older counterparts. Be sure to cut all the shoots and burn patients with pests. Work should be carried out pruning shears, not just break off a branch!
- Our bushes need to be sure the treatment of parasites. For example, save aktellik currant aphid. In winter, after the removal of fallen leaves need to spray the plant with a solution karbofosom.
If necessary in the autumn currant propagate woody cuttings.
Caring for raspberries
- Raspberry prefers moist soil, so it needs constant watering and dry bushes in the autumn shed further. Last irrigation before hibernation make in November the rate of about 5 buckets per 1 square meter of raspberry.
- Malina loves dressing! It is best to go organic fertilizer, such as bird droppings, manure and compost. If the landing been made a lot of fertilizer, they will last for approximately three years on, and with the fourth will have to make to 3 buckets of compost and 100 g of urea under every bush.
- In autumn it is recommended to cut all the sick, old and too thin shoots. We should be only thick and strong branches. Raspberry growing very well, eventually making it difficult at each other, so you should monitor the planting and keep the bushes at a distance of at least 60 centimeters!
- I like to spend processing aktellik, but you can still take fufanon or intavir. Intavir - a good tool, but the pests are getting used to it, so it can be used about 2 years and then buy something else. In the winter of last karbofosom process.
Like currants, raspberries, too, propagated by cuttings in autumn. The rules are simple! Attending to planting the next year we get more and more crop will please all the family and friends delicious jam and useful fruit drink.
