    When to Remove Grow Tubes?

    Im not really sure how I could replace them without causing damage (they are the Blue X tubes). No problems with deer, Im pretty sure the local coon got hit by a car last season and I havent seen evidence of one since, so it is just the rabbits. Hopefully a pellet gun can take care of that...

    Ground Cover

    I have three rows of six vines that I planted this year, and they are doing great. I have them in grow tubes, so I have been using Round Up to control weed grown, and to keep grass from growing back. With that said, Im looking for a good ground cover. My vineyard occupies about half of my...
