Hi!
I have a 10' high, ~180' long retaining wall in my back yard made of staggered blocks and I'd like to grow some grape vines along it. I live in middle Tennessee and the soil in the surrounding area is somewhat rocky but around the wall there is topsoil and sod with some clay around as well. I've never grown any grapes before but I think it would cover the wall nicely and hopefully I could occasionally make wine from the grapes instead of from the juice I buy right now.
So what variety would grow well in these conditions? What do I need to know to successfully train them to grow up (or down) the wall and produce grapes? Any advice at all would be helpful as the only thing I know about grapes is that delicious beverages can be made with them.
Thanks!
