Proper care of currants is the key to a good harvest.
Moreover, sometimes experienced gardeners use a garlic solution for currant bushes.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke in more detail about the benefits of this product.
What is garlic used for?
Garlic can bring a lot of benefits to currant bushes.
It contains phytoncides. They help protect bushes from various bacteria and fungi.
Garlic also contains substances that have a positive effect on the plant’s immunity.
Garlic-based products help strengthen the currant root system, making it better able to survive the winter.
In addition, garlic enriches the soil with essential beneficial microelements.
How to prepare a solution
Ten heads of garlic need to be crushed. Then add ten liters of water and a tablespoon of liquid soap.
If the garlic heads are very large, you can take five pieces.
Let the solution sit for a day, then strain it. Using a spray bottle, spray it onto the bushes, and pour the rest under the roots.
It is advisable to carry out such treatment in the autumn.
