    Зашел однажды к своему соседу и увидел, как он вкапывает столбы рядом с кустами смородины и крыжовника. Оказывается, он решил выращивать их на проволочной шпалере. Что ж, такой опыт не грех и перенять, тем более что кусты крыжовника у меня посажены как раз на одной линии буквально в полутора метрах друг от друга.

    По обе стороны кустов я вкопал столбы высотой примерно 2 м на глубину 50 см. Между ними натянул проволоку: нижнюю — на высоте 30-40 см, среднюю — на высоте 70-80 см, верхнюю — на конце столбов (1,5 м от земли). Поскольку была ещеранняя весна, обрезал кусты. Оставил по четыре самых мощных ветки, которые привязал к нижней проволоке в виде веера, а затем направил их вертикально, подвязав к средней и верхней проволоке. Остальные ветки обрезал возле самой земли. Осенью, как и советовал сосед, отобрал из отросших побегов четыре самых сильных (остальные удалил) и привязал их к нижней проволоке, слегка укоротив. А следующей весной привязал их к средней и верхней проволоке, не укорачивая. Теперь и кусты хорошо проветриваются, и урожай собирать гораздо удобнее.

    for more than one year the hostess of the dacha where we live has been growing blackberries. For the winter, the owners remove the branches from the trellis, carefully bend them to the ground, tie them with twine so that they do not rise, and cover the entire row with spunbond. In extreme cold, the plants are additionally covered with plastic wrap, and the edges are pressed with stones. When there is snow, throw it on the shelter.

    In early spring, during thaws, blackberry bushes are aired, for which the ends of the shelter are opened. Sometimes they also ventilate in winter, when the sun is very hot, - periodically open one end for 2-5 minutes. In the spring, as soon as the positive temperature is established, the blackberries are opened, tied up, and frozen branches are cut out.

    Blackberry Growing Secrets
    1. I choose a sunny place for planting blackberries, protected from cold northern winds.
    4. Immediately after flowering, I feed the plants with mullein infusion (1: 4-6), as well as ash (0,5 liters per bush).
    2. I dig planting holes 30-40 cm deep, fill them with fertile soil mixed with humus (1: 1), ash (0,5 l), 100-150 g of superphosphate and 40-50 g of potash fertilizers.
    Z. In early June, I pinch the shoots - lateral branches form on them, and the yield increases significantly.
    5. If the weather is dry during the filling and ripening of berries, I definitely water the blackberries.
    6. For the winter, I mulch the soil under the bushes with coniferous litter, cover it with spruce branches.

      The hardest part about growing blackberries is covering them for the winter. As you know, the bush needs support - two poles and 3-4 rows of wire. It is easy to hang the whips on the wire and fasten them, but it is problematic to remove and lay the shoots on the ground: they can break. The best way out is the vertical shelter of the blackberry, when the lashes are not removed from the supports, but covered with non-woven material, like a blanket. At the same time, the bottom is insulated with sawdust and snow - this is how the plant endures winter with minor damage.
