The summer is associated with abundance of light, is warm and, of course, fruit and berries. Among the shrubby cultures which are fallen in love to gardeners, raspberry and currant were of particular importance. At the correct leaving these plants yield rich harvest of the berries valuable the high content of vitamin C.
Landing of raspberry
It is preferable to Malines to put in the fall. The best results receive at earlier terms - in the first half of September. But well also the plants planted during the whole October take root. If for any reasons the autumn landing has not turned out, then raspberry can be planted in the early spring prior to blooming of kidneys.
Before planting of bushes carry out prelanding preparation of the soil. The longevity of bush, its development and fructification directly depends on quality of the carried-out works. It is necessary to destroy weeds, to enrich the soil with moisture and nutrients. The soil is dug over on depth of 30-40 cm. Cuts of roots before landing update and dip in the earth talker. Raspberry is landed in the prepared channels 40-50 cm wide and 50-60 cm in depth.
Elevated part of sapling is shortened to 30 cm. Placement of saplings depends on quality of the soil, but generally bushes put 0.5 m at distance, between ranks leave up to 2 m. After landing of plant water, and mulch the soil in ranks. It improves moisture penetration and promote that in hot weather the soil did not overheat. From the mulching materials damp fragmented peat, peat composts, humus and also cut straw are used. At autumn landing one watering usually is enough for bush, and at spring - repeated waterings are required.
At disembarkation of currant of hole it is necessary to prepare in advance that the soil has managed to sink. Raspberry does not demand early preparation of landing holes.
Landing of currant
Currant is landed on lower, boggy sites with bedding of waters at depth of 1.5 m. She well transfers blackout. As bushes begin to grow in the early spring, the best time for landing the end of October - the beginning of November is considered. However some gardeners carry out landing of saplings and in the spring, to the earliest terms, and even to February "windows".
Currant - one of the most valuable cultures. Berries of currant contain vitamin C, pro-vitamin A, vitamins of group B, P, RR, organic acids and mineral substances.
Currant also 2 m between ranks land at distance 1.5 m between bushes. The site on which planting of saplings is supposed needs to be fertilized from calculation: 2 kg of compost, 100 g of superphosphate and 150 g of ashes on 1 sq.m. Avoid hit of chlorine-containing potash fertilizers in this mix as chlorine is pernicious for this culture. Depth of landing hole has to be not less than 50-60 cm. The bottom of hole is loosened, then pour out in it fertilizers, carefully mixing them with the loosened soil. After that about 10 cm of the earth are filled and the bush lands. Then it is necessary to water and mulch the soil. After landing the sapling needs to be cut off, having left some main kidneys. It contributes to the development of strong root system.
