Currant has features - for example, a very high early maturity: rooted cuttings, and after 2-3 years you harvest.

However, this is not always the case, but only with the abuse of mineral supplements and a minimum of organic matter in industrial gardens. Imagine my garden, every year I add organic matter as mulch from above after leaf fall. From below, hundreds of worms and other spider bugs rush to the damp, fallen leaves covered from the light. The leaf passed through their stomach no longer contains pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The leaf is eaten, leaving bare eggs and cocoons of pests. They do not lie for a long time, they are eaten by ants. beetles and other predators. thus, coprolites and beneficial insects accumulate, and pests and diseases disappear.
- I do not like to tilt branches from old varieties for rooting. Before propagating and planting a variety in the main garden, I check it for diseases. To do this, in the summer I choose the most healthy shoots with strong growth and cut ten green cuttings from them. They take root easily, on separate beds under nonwoven fabric, which retains moisture and protects against flying pests. In autumn, I do not select all seedlings, but only three out of a dozen, but with the best growth - they are known to be free from viruses and fungi. I plant them in the garden.
