It doesn't want soaking every day, but make sure it doesn't dry out completely during this hot weather and it will be fine.

I planted a gooseberry bush 3 yrs ago, good crop last year, again this year but also the sawfly found it. When I noticed the little green grubs I started spraying them with soap and thought I was killing them, but eventually they overtook my efforts and stripped the leaves.

A few miles away, relatives have had several gooseberyy bushes for many years - with no sawfly! Where's the justice?

Don't comment on justice or otherwise but I do know that Invicta is the spikiest and most vicious of the gooseberries to try and pick.

I planted garlic under my bushes about three years ago as I had a few cloves left over, they never got harvested and now grow like little clumps of grass. I have not had sawfly since the garlic was planted there.
