Default Gooseberry bush problems

Kath
To help (though not eliminate) next years sawfly troubles, in the
autumn, clear all debris, leaves, mulch from under the bush. I have
found that this does make a difference. The open ground rakes over
seems to allow cold, birdsor what ever underneath. Why it works I
cannot say, just seems to
