Planting shrubs in different seasons has its own pros and cons. In order for a gooseberry to start, you need to know some aspects of planting it. First of all, you need to choose the right planting material, then decide on the landing site and competently prepare the planting pit.

Growing and caring

Gooseberries can be planted both in spring and autumn. In this case, you should choose the most illuminated place on the site. The culture prefers sandy, sandy loam, loamy soils. The chosen location should also be well protected from the winds.

Planting pits should be about 30 cm deep, about 60 cm in diameter. Rotted manure, superphosphate, potassium salt (wood ash can be used instead), limestone are introduced into each hole. Peat can be added to improve aeration.

Young seedlings are planted strictly straight without slopes. Moreover, the root collar must be deepened by no more than 4-5 cm. The lower part is sprinkled with earth.

Immediately after planting, the ground around the bushes is slightly compacted. Each plant is watered abundantly (5 liters of water per planting).

Gooseberries do not tolerate excess moisture, so you should not moisturize them too much. Watering is best done in the evening, the liquid needs to be poured only under the root, it should not get on the stem and leaves.

During the period of fruit ripening, watering can be increased. At this time, it is recommended to moisten the culture evenly and abundantly so that the berries do not crack.

The first loosening will need to be done in early spring. The next loosening is carried out in the first half of June, when there is an active vegetation and the formation of ovaries.

Further, the procedure is carried out in late summer - early autumn, when the entire crop has already been harvested. Before the onset of the winter season, the land around the bushes is carefully dug up, during the same period, mineral and organic fertilizing is introduced.

Pruning of plants also plays an important role. It provides, among other things, a high yield of the crop. Moreover, this procedure is also carried out on young bushes.

In the first year, it will be necessary to remove all damaged and dead branches, in the second year, several of the healthiest and strongest branches must be selected, the rest are cut out at the base. In the third year, it will be necessary to leave another 3-4 such branches, remove the rest.

It is important to apply fertilizers on time. To compensate for the lack of nutrients, you can use complex mineral and organic formulas. They can be bought ready-made at a specialist store.

Sometimes a mixture is prepared, consisting of humus (half a bucket), superphosphate (50 grams), you can also add a little potassium sulfate (25 grams) there.

After applying top dressing, the soil around the bush must be carefully loosened. After the flowering period, you can additionally use mullein solution. To prepare it, you will need to mix the mullein with water in a ratio of 1 to 5. One gooseberry bush should have at least 5 liters of such a nutrient solution.

After the winter cold, the bushes are recommended to be treated with boiling water. This procedure will avoid the early appearance of various pests and diseases. It is best to carry out this treatment with a spray bottle.

In order to rejuvenate the gooseberry bush, give it a neat look, optimize yield and protect it from pests, it must be periodically pruned. There are several types of pruning: anti-aging, sanitary and shaping. Each of them differs in seasonality and frequency.
For feeding gooseberries, both mineral and complex mixtures are well suited. Pure organic, including homemade, can also be recommended.
Although the gooseberry is considered to be an unpretentious crop, it also requires regular maintenance. Compliance with agrotechnical practices in the autumn-winter period guarantees the duration of fruiting and high yields for the next year, therefore, preparing the gooseberry for winter is an important event.

In order for the gooseberry to produce a good harvest, it is necessary to devote time to disease prevention.
