This season will be my first harvest. Hopefully I will have more success than my garden this season.

I think I will use peat moss mixed with compost to add organic materials to the soil as well.

It was between 7 and 8. It was a generic test with not much of a gauge.

It’s been a while but I got a basic soil test and tested the soil of my underperforming vine today. It showed that the soil is slightly alkaline and NPK deficient. That explains why the vine wasn’t doing so well this year. Should I be concerned about the PH?

I have a private well on my property and set up irrigation at the beginning of this season. Right now is the rainy season and we’ve been getting a fair amount of rain. I used my pick and found the gravel severely compacted. That would probably explain why this particular vine was stunted this...

I have 5 muscadine vines in my backyard. This is the second full season since I planted them. All but one has been doing well this season. The one that has not been doing well was planted next to an unused private driveway and I believe that the crushed gravel extends further than the driveway...

I am growing my own muscadine grapes in the backyard. It's currently in the second full season. I am still training the vines though. I am looking forward to harvesting next season. This year I hope to get my feet wet, so to speak, and try my hand at wine making.
