Aphids on currants are easily recognizable by twisted leaves and a large number of ants on the bushes. If you don't take measures in time, you can lose a significant part of the harvest.



What to do?



-️Dissolve 3 tbsp of soda in 10 liters of water and spray the bush thoroughly.



-️Pay special attention to the lower side of the leaves this is where aphids most often accumulate.



-️Pour 200 g of chamomile with 1 liter of hot water and leave to infuse for several days.



-️Then strain the infusion, pour it into a bucket with 10 liters of water and add 1 tbsp of liquid soap for better adhesion of the solution to the leaves.



The treatment is carried out 3 times per season.



It's better to spray in the evening or in cloudy, rainy weather.


If you worry about aphids - - don't look up gooseberry sawfly larva ! You won't just reduce your harvest - - they will defoliate your bushes in a week. The bushes survive but never quite as healthy or productive. John T.
