looking good, I've had to fix a few well pumps/lines that are a mix of old metal fittings and newer PVC. We use flexible water line and a nipple on either end to join the two. The flexible pipe can give a little when the pump kicks on or if there is movement in the line that might otherwise...

Yeah, Conway, AR. I think it's zone 7. My buddy was told they're muscadine so that's what I'm going with. We'll find out later this year hopefully.

Thanks Grapeman, I'll give it a shot next weekend after this cold snap passes through the next few days.

Stopped by a friends new house and found a grape vine in the back yard...I think it needs a little love :h I don't even know where to start except to just start removing canes and try to get back close to the cordon.

I've started using Mangrove Jack's M02 cider yeast for mine, I think it gives it a better flavor than 1118 did. I also add a 15oz bottle of lime juice to the recipe (half up front, half with the 3rd bottle of lemon)...

I've been following this post for 2 years while I've been building a house and growing half a dozen muscadine vines. This year should be the first small crop of muscadines and I'm hoping enough to try this out. One question for Jswordy thought, how much blueberry juice did you mix with 5 gal...

quick update, apparently time and patients are what I need more of. One of the Noble vines is finally showing life, 1 single leaf at the base of the vine. That means there's still hope for all 4 of them. Apparently I also need to pull some weeds around them

No change in the look of the vines, but it still hasn't been warm and sunny much around here. We've only had a few sunny days over 80, still getting a lot of rain and cool temps. I called TyTy and they said not to worry about it, it could take up to 3 months for the root system to establish...

Thanks garymc, I'm a little more confident than I was that maybe they're just slow because of the cool/cloudy weather we've had so far this spring. If I don't see anything from them in another 2 weeks I may start trimming to see what it looks like.

yeah, no growth that I can see, just looks like bare vines, but it hasn't been as warm/sunny as it normally would be this time of year (outside of about 4-5 days last week) so maybe they just haven't seen enough sun and warm weather yet. I got them from TyTy in GA, I may give them a call and...

I've kept them watered, we've had plenty of rain, but it stays pretty well drained. It's not the greatest dirt in the world but should be ok. No buds, I don't see any growth at all on them, but I've had them in blue grow tubes since I planted them. I'm starting to think that may be hurting more...

I need some advice/reassurance on some muscadine vines I planted about a month ago. I purchased (4) 3 year old bare vines and planted them the first week of April. I put grow tubes around them and tied them to a trellis. They're about 45-50" tall, but it doesn't seem like they're...

I'm in... :b
