Why run on the second floor, with cement bags when there is Winch TL-14A intended for such actions. An example with a winch I was not just like that, I often observe how people complicate their lives in Hope to save a little.

About currant circumcision:A few years ago we bought a plot with a house. There no one lived for a long time, the owners appeared by hitting, with the result that the garden and the berry were in an extremely launched state. I was struck by the currant bushes near the fence. They were huge, with thick branches. Berries on the bushes in the summer turned out to be a little, they were small, but very sweet. It was a pity, but the bushes gathered torturing to plant the young. In a conversation with a neighbor, it was concluded that the former owners "translated" the currants. And he advised not to remove the bushes (the variety is good), but to restore them with the help of trimming. I decided to try. In the autumn, in front of the cold, cut the bushes almost to the base - left no more than 4-5 cm above the surface of the Earth. In the spring, as soon as it began to warm from under the ground, the pig appeared - the underground kidneys awakened. The bushes immediately fledged: a bucket of humus (manure that "cleared" 1 year) mixed with a 0.5-liter jar of wood ash, embroidered this mixture into the rolling circles and was well.

It was a lot of young branches, they grown to half a meter for the summer. In September, the bushes broke down, without regret. And the next year the branches were just sleeping with large berries.

Every year the currants necessarily cut off. A neighbor suggested a simple, but effective, circular circuit of trimming, which enjoys himself. In the bush you need perpendicular to put 2 long sticks (sleep under the branches). Thus, the bush turns out to be divided into 4 parts. In the first year in the first sector, all branches are cut from almost completely (leave hemp no more than 5 cm). In other parts, old branches (3-year-old) are cut and underdeveloped shoots. The next year is completely cut out the second part of the bush, the rest is partially thinned. And so annually the bush is cut in a circle.

In the fall of the branches after trimming, you do not need to throw away. You can propagate these shoots of currants. To do this, cover them into a deep ditch at an angle of about 45 ° to the soil surface. You can leave the "macushk" or shop completely. It was good to water that the Earth almost all the time was wet. The next spring where the branches were buried, the young shoots of the currant will go into the growth.
