Fertilizing currants in the fall

Experienced gardeners advise paying special attention to caring for currant bushes in November. Autumn fertilization helps plants gain strength before wintering and ensures a better harvest next season.

It is important to choose the right fertilizer and observe the watering regime so that the bushes can withstand the cold and recover in the spring. OBOZ.UA offers to consider the main types of fertilizing currants that guarantee a rich harvest.

Compost and humus - the basis of nutrition

One of the best ways to feed currants in late fall is to use compost or humus. These organic fertilizers enrich the soil with nutrients that help the bushes to strengthen before frost. It is recommended to scatter them around the bush at a distance of 20 centimeters from the base, and then work them into the ground to a depth of 10-15 centimeters.

Mineral fertilizers

In November, it is also worth applying mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen stimulates leaf development, phosphorus strengthens the root system, and potassium increases resistance to diseases in winter. It is important to follow the dosage instructions to avoid oversaturation, which can negatively affect the plant.

Fertilizers for soil fertility

To increase the resistance of currants to cold weather, gardeners recommend sowing green manure such as alfalfa around the bushes. These plants enrich the soil with nitrogen and improve its structure, which contributes to better growth of currants in the spring.

Watering.

Although many people stop watering in the fall, currant bushes need enough moisture in November. It is recommended to water them every 10-14 days with warm water so that the plants can fully prepare for winter.

Comprehensive care

The right combination of organic, mineral and green fertilizers, along with regular watering, will help currant bushes not only survive the cold season but also recover as much as possible in the spring.

Do not exceed the dosage of mineral fertilizers, as this can lead to bush diseases. You should also remember to distribute the compost evenly and avoid its excessive concentration at the roots.
