Many gardener decide to grow gooseberry to later use his fruit for jams, compotes, baking or refreshing desserts. However, for the bush to spend a lot of crops, it is necessary to carry out spring fertilization. We present a recipe for a natural fertilizer using … yeast and milk.
At the beginning it is worth realizing, what ingredients do I need for proper development, and thus for abundant fruiting. Well, we must provide him with minerals, i.e. nitrogen, magnesium and potassium. Why are they so important?
Nitrogen supports plant growth, i.e. the production of green parts, i.e. leaves or shoots. In turn, magnesium is necessary in the process of photosynthesis – it improves the overall condition of shrubs. Potassium has a great impact on the quality of fruit, their taste and durability.
Without these three ingredients, the leaves of the plant, poor production of shoots, flowers and fruit buds will most likely turn yellow. That is why it is so important to supply gooseberry with a conditioner, rich in nitrogen, magnesium and potassium, which complement all deficiencies.
