It has begun. This will be where I update the progress from burying the cuttings to planting them in the vineyard in a year. This is a new process for me and those who I'm working for so details are a bit fuzzy and will change over time.
So to get started we have taken about 1000 LaCrescent, 500 Crimson Cabernet, and 500 Chambourcin cuttings so far. 1000 Brianna, 500 Marquette, and a few Cabernet Franc, Chardonel, Traminette and 3309 rootstock will be added.
First we dug out a large pit just over 2 feet deep and lined the edges with wood planks with rebar to hold the dirt back. A ton of sand was brought in to bury the cuttings and each cultivar are separated by plywood to keep it organized.
This last picture is just of the LaCrescent. Will be cutting the last of the Chambourcin tomorrow so I will have an updated picture then.
Any questions/suggestions/experiences are welcome!
