    Harvest Gooseberry

    From one gooseberry bush I collect at least ten pounds of berries. The whole secret is in leaving.
    I mulch the soil under the plants with peat (1 bucket per bush). Although gooseberries tolerate the heat well, with prolonged drought, I must water the plants: during the formation of the ovaries (late May - early June), as well as during the formation and ripening of berries (second or third decade of June). I do not pour water under the root so that the earth is not washed out, but in the groove along the perimeter of the crown projection - 30 liters per bush.

    BTW: AUTUMN (IN THE FIRST HALF OF OCTOBER), IF IT DOES NOT RAIN, ALWAYS CARRY OUT A WATER-CHARGING IRRING.
    Every spring, from the emerging root shoots, I leave the 3-5 strongest, I cut the rest to the soil level. I remove diseased and damaged branches. On adult plants, I cut branches older than 6 years. From the third year after planting in the autumn, I dig in organic matter (4-6 kg per 1 sq. M), phosphorus (30 g) and potash (20 g) fertilizers. In summer, I combine the following dressing with watering: I spread the mullein with water (1: 4) and water the gooseberries in the first half of June (1 bucket per bush).
