I need to set my trellis. Waited too long.
This is going to be 3 rows, each about 15 vines. So total about 45. Most are Marquette and some table grapes. The spacing is 8' and I'm thinking about high cordon trellis.
Some questions:
1. What is the best way for the end post? Deadman's anchor? Or extra post and wire?
2. How long the posts should be? 10' or longer? The high cordon should be about 7-8' tall?
3. I'm thinking of placing some 2-3 main posts in the middle and medium size post at each vine. Make sense?
4. Where is the best place to buy those posts? Do folks use treated lumbers? Or use red cedar or other natural posts?
Time to get back to this forum.... Too many hobbies.
Thx folks....
