Place under the landing of the gooseberry

The primary task of the gardener, before planting the gooseberry, - carefully pick up the optimal place on the site. From this factor will depend on the fertility of plantings and their longevity, and therefore it is impossible to make a mistake in this matter. So, when choosing a place of landing, such criteria should be taken into account:

The gooseberry in the content is not too whimsical, but it does not endure wetlands. If the landing occurred at such a place, the shrub will grow badly, much more often to hurt and, ultimately, will die. For this reason, it is necessary to choose a plot where groundwater takes place at a distance of at least 1.5 m from the surface.
Because the gooseberry awakens quite early from the state of rest and is characterized by early bloom, low-speed is needed to avoid a place, since cold air will accumulate in such sites. Try to define a shrub in a corner where it will be completely protected from cold winds.
This culture is very demanding of illumination and does not make dark, thickened places. The plant does not die, but the branches are thinned on the shrub, the berries is becoming less and less, and they acquire small sizes. In addition, they are worse stained and can ripen at different times.

Preparation of soil

It is best to plant a bushes of a gooseberry in the soil, which was pretextured. This occupation is quite laborious, but as a result, the owner will get a healthy, fertile and long-term plant. Consider the detail of the phase of the preparation of the soil in the berry landing:

2-3 years before the gooseberry landing, predecessor plants should be seeded in the soil. The best representatives are disappearing cultures, perennial grass, as well as black couples.
After the suburbs perform their task and appreciate the soil with the necessary substances, they must be removed.
After cleaning, glyphosate-containing herbicides for the gooseberry should be added to the soil. Photos with norms and instructions are usually indicated on the packaging of the substance.
When September comes, it will be necessary to treat the land by 20-25 cm deep into the community, walking on it a general purpose plow.
Mineral and organically fertilizers are added to the flexible soil.

The process of landing gooseberry

The most important aspect that affects the performance of the gooseberry landing – this is the time of year. This berry can only be planted in spring or autumn. However, it is necessary to take into account that in the first case it is necessary to carefully track down a short period between the thawing of the soil and swelling of the kidneys, and it is quite difficult to determine it. Therefore, the optimal time for the planting of the gooseberry is the period from the end of September to the beginning of October, since the bushes will have to be rooted before the onset of frosts.

The gooseberry plant should be made in such a sequence of actions:

Initially, consider seedlings: they need to remove sluggish or dried roots, as well as crop the tops of the branches. Leave at each shoot no more than five kidneys.
Make landing pits to 40 cm deep, and in width to 50 cm.
For landing, two-year or annual shrubs are suitable, in which 3-4 developed branches are formed, and the roots are of at least 15 cm.
Then it is necessary to make fertilizers in the trench in order to maximize the soil. To do this, you can use such a material:

organic substances - 10 kg (suitable humid foliage, manure, etc.);
wood ash - 100 g

Place the seedling in the recess, holding it so that the bush is located at a small angle.
The interval between seedlings should be 1-3 meters, depending on the varieties and size of plants.
Then pour the hole to the soil and necessarily compact to avoid the appearance of emptiness.
At the end, plenty of every shrub.

Recommendations for the process:

it is advisable to land a shrub at 6-8 cm deeper than it grown in the nursery;
if the landing occurs on light soil, then it is necessary to deepen a seedling of 8-10 cm;
after landing, we should water the shrub at the rate of 10 liters per 5 bushes;
to avoid the freezing of seedlings, if they were laid in late autumn, it is necessary to thoroughly mulch the soil with a layer of manure, dry ground, peat or humus so that the mulch covers the soil is 10 cm;
early spring needs to uninute plantings.

Going care

In the period of early spring, before the kidneys begin to bloom, it is necessary to cultivate the aisle. This will allow you to keep moisture in the ground. It should also be held a manual vent. And if the year turned out to be dry and the sediments fall extremely rarely, you need to repeat cultivation during the season.

The gooseberry processing also implies fertilizers. The most nutritious for this berry is a substance of phosphoric and potash content that need to be added to the soil early in autumn. It should be adhered to such terms:

on heavy soil fertilizer is held every 3-4 years;
on the lungs - 1-2 years after the first contribution.

Important! Nitrogen fertilizers should be made annually, with the onset of the spring period.

Watering I. Trimming

This berry culture loves abundant watering. It is recommended to "poison" the gooseberry for such a scheme:

after the end of the flowering of the bush, during the formation of fruits;
14 days before the collection of berries;
immediately after harvesting.

At the same time, the water consumption rate should be proceeded - 350 m3 / ha.

The trimming of the shrub is made either in the autumn period after the appeal of the leaves, or in the spring until the kidneys were blown. In this case, it is important to adhere to some subtleties of the process:

Those shrubs on which the thickening pig is noticed are needed. It is important that the old frame branches are replaced with new ones.
The most valuable and fertile branches in the gooseberry are those that grow 6-7 years. Sewing, the age of which over 8 years old, is distinguished by low yields and they are exposed to pruning.
It is necessary to cut the branch at the very reason to give a place to grow new escape.
Cutting the tops of the bush is not at all, except for that case, if they began to form small and watery flavor the berries.
Cutting the gooseberry must be carried out once a year, otherwise, it touches greatly, and the crop will be extremely substantial. In addition, non-smugged bushes begin to hurt, solast, peelers or flames fall on them, to bring it problematic.

Fighting diseases and pests

This berry culture is quite often exposed by the invasion of small pests, such as the TLL, a fighter or a sawner. You can fight these parasites with such substances:

carbofos solution;
special biopreparations;
the ash influence at the rate of 1 kg of ash per 3 liter of liquid.

The processing of the bush is carried out in the spring, but if the pests did not leave the habitat, it is necessary to re-spray after flowering the gooseberry.

Another problem of this berry is puffy dew - The disease in which gray spots appear on shoots and foliage. You can get rid of this ailment you can spray shrubs with such drugs:

iron vigor at the rate of 3 g / 1 liters of water;
sodium bicarbonate solution at the rate of 5 g / 1 l of water.

Plant treatment is made immediately after the appearance of the first signs of the disease.

Harvest

The duration of the fetus aging period is from 30 to 35 days. At the same time, the harvest can be collected in varying degrees of maturity, depending on what they need. For example, for the squeezing of juice, jam, jelly, etc. Fruits must be slightly unreliable.

For consuming berries in the fresh form, the harvest is happening when the fruits acquire the corresponding color for the color, but are slightly hard, since the berries in the process of transporting berries and lose the taste.

It is best to clean the gooseberry berries in non-fit and dry weather, using a shallow container. The collected fruits can not be suspended from one container to another, as they are easy and let juice. Keeping berries best in the refrigerator, where they have a natural path for 6-8 days.
