Hey all,
I finally bought my own house this august and got the go ahead from the wife to plant some vines. I'm gonna start smaller at just 50 vines to start. Going to start with 30 cayuga white and 20 of another variety, not sure if it would be red or another white grape (suggestions would help!) I am located in Breesport NY, about 25 minutes from Watkins Glen NY.
I got my soil sample today for the cornell cooperative extension for my area, which is in Elmira NY. Just was wondering on what else I should prep for the spring. I have read from vines to wines probably 10 times now and researched on double A vinyards site and also on this forum for tips.
I originally wanted to find a backhoe to turn the dirt in the "rows" I will have but can't locate someone at the moment. Hope this isn't a huge deal.
Thanks!
Nick
