Three stages of care for currants and raspberries in autumn

0

The berry harvests are over. Currants and raspberries have long been harvested. It's time to process and prepare berry crops. It is a mistake to think that it is now possible not to move them until the next season. First you need to process, and then wait for the cold weather.

Cleaning. All bushes need to be cleaned. Look for spider nests. If such remain, then they will become a home for aphids. In addition, you need to clean the branches from the remains of dry leaves and dry berries. Note the twisted leaves. Pests are definitely hiding there, so don't miss the potential danger of leaving them.

Pruning branches. Sanitary pruning involves removing branches with yellow and small leaves. Do not leave this until the next season.

Nutrition. Mineral fertilizers will help replenish the supply of nutrients. If you grow two types of currants, then 1 tablespoon is needed for red currants. superphosphate and 2 tbsp. potassium at the rate of 1 bush, and for black — 2 tbsp. superphosphate and 1 tbsp. potassium For raspberries, the dose is the same as for black currants.
