I thought that stuff was like a miracle in a bottle. I think you just have a VERY green thumb!

Very informative. Since I have never grown a grape, or driven a tractor or done anything outside my small little city lot before (I have manhandled a tiller), I am trying to absorb as much information as possible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. MUCH appreciated.

Are you going to be showing how you prep the land, plant the vines and build your trellis? Looking forward to it.

You will be seeing just about every operation I use for the vineyard as long as I have a working camera. Some of the stuff isn't the IDEAL way of doing things, but as time goes on you can judge for yourselves if it is working or not. It will be a long work in progress just like my other thread which grew to 200 pages of posts with time. That was a piecemeal operation and this one I have a plan in mind to implement so I thought it helpful to split it off.

Good idea, Rich! There are so many little gems of info in your other thread -- I can see that you can organize this from the first rather than the way we've all done it before where it is "...and then I did this... and then I did that... and then..."

Thanks again for all your efforts to help the rest of us out here!

Rich,When we started our little vineyard I read someplace you should plant your rows from east to west have you heard this before ? Also how do you intend to water your rows ? Looking forward to your progress. We only have 32 plants right now maybe more when I retire. Good luck..... Mike

The ole East/West, North/South debate will go on forever. I am of the camp that I plant whatever direction makes the most sense for the plot. A lot depends on the latitude where you are located. Where I am at, the vines get about the same amount of sun either orientation. The new vineyard will be running east/west.
