  A couple of thoughts (Grapeman is the expert, but I have grown both Baco and Seyval) As soon as
  you see positive growth, cut back to one or two buds. On the fertilizer, I would not add
  Nitrogen unless...

• Posted in thread: Sulfur and oil at this stage? on 05-10-2013 at 01:03 AM
  Was wondering if it would still be safe to use Sulfur and horticultural oil at this stage? I am
  at anywhere from bud break to 4 inches and as I understand it since the temperature is low I
  don't have ...

• Posted in thread: Thoughts on Tile Drain? on 04-22-2013 at 03:30 PM

  Just recieved my Arandell's from AA Vineyards. These are the new Cornell red variety from there

  Strangely enough I am a geologist as well as a winemaker. Looks like you have limestone bedrock
  there with red clay oveburden. You should dig a few test pits, backhoe is best but you can dig
  by hand a...

  Best of luck with the baby and the vineyard. I did the same thing 27 years ago and they both
  worked out. It's good to be young with endless energy.

• Posted in thread: please help, do I need to cement my end posts? general anchor/trellis post question. on 04-04-2013 at 07:55 PM
  Tractor supply item number 360031299 SpeeCo fence stretcher. Real good for trellis wires and
  end post anchor lines. Picture on the website.

  To avoid the need for wire tensioners, I use a wire stretcher from Tractor supply. A simple rig
  that tensions the runs and then wrap them around the end post and release. The tool is
  reusable.

• Posted in thread: Should I plant vines in my back yard? on 04-04-2013 at 03:12 AM

  or something like that since they are easier to care for and all the Cabernet from the east is
  terrible. J...
