Travisty's "Vineyard"

[Travisty]

Very cool. Do I understand it correctly that I want to run the catch wires in pairs with one wire of each pair on either side of the posts? If that's correct, what's the purpose for that?

It gives you an area to just put the shoots up through. The tendrils hold the shoot in place. If you use just one wire, you need to fasten the shoots to the wires, adding a lot of work, but it can be done.

Your point about digging reminds me of when I put in my posts in the Missoula vineyard -- on those hot days it was about 2 hours per post and some days it was only one post a day!

Old gravel/cobbles everywhere!

As one of our former prez's said, "I feel your pain!"

sounds like a call for raised beds

No gravel/cobbles for me, just hard clay and random rocks. In fact I found an old beer bottle about a foot down in one of the post locations!
