In addition, give plants an extra dose of nitrogen by spreading composted manure around the plants.

How to fertilize black currants

Potassium sulfate is a good fertilizer for gardeners planning multi-stage feeding.

Potassium sulfate is used during the second feeding - in early May.

Dissolve potassium sulfate in water according to the instructions, pour the solution over the bushes.

How to feed currants with natural remedies

The blackcurrant yield can be increased by adding well-ripened organic matter (leaf humus, compost, mullein).

In early spring, feed each bush with two tablespoons of ammonium nitrate.

Fill a third of the bucket with nettles and add water. Then leave for several days.

Water the currants with the prepared liquid.

You can add a few crusts of bread to the nettles.

They will produce yeast that will stimulate increased growth of the berries; they will be large and strong.
