Hi. I've learned a lot of great information on this site and really appreciate it.
I'm growing a small amount of marquette grapes. I planted the vines last year and then pruned them back to 3 good buds. They are now really taking off and I am getting ready to build my trellis system. I'm thinking of going with Grapeman's modified GDC, like many others are.
My questions are:
1. For the angled bar used for the offset fruiting wires, how do you attach the wires to the bar?
2. Is it best to go with a double trunk on the modified GDC or one trunk? I live in zone 4 (30 minutes north of Minneapolis), which can get cold, but I'm not sure if a double trunk is necessary with marquette as they are cold hardy?
Thanks for the help!
