The Art Of Grape Vine Growing
By Flower | July 16, 2009
I believed that some people would like to have both eating grapes and wine grapes at the same time. Well you can. But if that’s what you really wanted, I would suggest that you plant two different sorts of grape vine – one that is good for eating and one that is good for wine.
Now once you know what you want your grape vines for, it’s time to go out and buy grape vines. You’ll still have to know which plants are suitable for your geographical area and I would suggest that you consult an expert on this. The easiest thing to do is simply to go to one of the neighbors, one that already has a well growing grape vines, and ask him a couple of questions. In my experience, people are always excited talk about their vines.
Now go and find a good site for your vine. Lots and lots of sun and rich soil, is what vines need, so choose wisely. I would suggest that you build the support for your vines before you start planting. If you try to do this later on, you might damage the plants. There are many different types of support that you can use. To build the most basic one, just drive some stakes into the ground and then connect them with wire. If your vine grapes grow over a wall, you don’t need to do anything at this point, but you may have to put a couple of nails in that wall later on. So always remember that.
Now it’s time to put the plants into the ground. And mind you, that’s the easy step. Just dig a small hole, put the plant in, and tap the dirt around it. Done. You’ve just became a vine grower.
From now on, you’ll have to make sure that your vines have plenty of water, are fertilized and pruned. Again, consult an expert (my-grape-vine.com) in your area to find out how much water and fertilizer is needed. This will differ from area to area. With regards to pruning, you won’t have to do any of it in the first 6 months. So for now, just relax and let your vines grow. How to Grow a Grape Vine
