- In this video I show how to plant dormant grape vines and start your own backyard vineyard. If you want to grow grapes in your yard, check out this video. The grapes that I am growing are Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Traminette, Riesling, Noiret, and Marquette. Most of the grape vines are grafted but a couple of the hybrids are own rooted. For more information be sure to checkout some of my other videos on winemaking or wine growing.

Optimally, you should soak vines 24 hours before planting and when backfilling the hole you should lightly pull and shake the trunk of the vine (bellow the graft union) to orient the root downward and prevent J rooting.
Please keep these videos coming. Thank you
Great video! I’m expecting my first vine any day now, and it is a traminette, so you really boosted my confidence.
Awesome! Make sure to water it frequently until it starts to leaf out a little and take root. Especially since we are getting into the dryer part of the year.
Watched this vid a few times and just planted 20 Marquette and 20 Prairie Star (in zone 4). A lot of work! Glad to be done. Helpful video.
Wow!😎
How’re they doing?
@@brightonduder Slow to grow I think because my ground is soggy. I'm planning some drainage and planting new vines on mounds.
Great detail description as to how to plant grape. Thank you
Thank you! I am new to this and videos like this help tremendously.
THANK YOU so much for sharing your time, talents, and knowledge. I am adding some grape vines to our property and your videos are a great source of information and inspiration. :)
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out concord grapes season try Grape Grower Folio (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got excellent success with it.
Coming along...nicely
Bro sharing us this expensive knowledge for freee, thank you so much
Just what my dream house needed
Great video. Loads of useful information. What is a good spacing between vines and rows?
Great to aee you making more vids
Thanks! It has been a busy spring with house projects so I have been a little behind on videos.
Kudos for the Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (do a search on google)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to become a successful grape grower without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate finally got cool success with it.
Many thanks, I have been researching "grapevine growth rate" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Qeyliana Henvery Domination - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )?
It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to become a pro grape grower minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got great success with it.
NICE!
Love your vids if possible a reeling making vid
I like this video
What a setup must be a fortune
Hi! When do you remove the grow sleeves? Do you leave them on the entire first season? Thank you!
Great video! My question is I built a trellis for my mom and planted 9 vines. They previous were potted and some of the bases of vines are not growing upward more on a angle that’s the way they were planted so will that be an issue? Thanks!
Where did you get the vines from? Ty awesome vid n info
Hi great video ,how far apart do you plant your vines?
I am really enjoying your videos! Very educational, thanks! It has been hard for my to locate these blue tubes. Do you happen to have any good inexpensive sources? I need about 30 of them. TY!
Thank you! I get my tubes from Double A vineyards. You can order online. They are also a great source for vines if you still need to order any more. If you just need a few here and there they might have them, even if they say "out of stock". I think they keep a few extra to replenish people who get some winter damage
@@TheHomeWinemakingChannel Ohh wow thanks, much appreciated. Im about to bottle my first two 5gal batches (a cab from my own grapes & a pinot grigio from a kit) so your other vids are super helpful thanks. Learning a lot over on winemakingtalk forum as well. Your videos bring the visual to the stuff Im reading about. TY!
Good videi
Cool
Hi mate nice video just wanted to know what is gape between each plant if possible
here's a newbie question:. I received my vines in a dormant state about a month early. I have them in my unheated garage under a cover to keep the light out. should they be ok in that condition until its time for planting?
Hi there! I’m planting my vineyard in Central Jersey. Looking at your great video I see some soil similar to mine. What location is taking this video?
Hi, I am just east of Pittsburgh, PA. Should be some overlap in what we can plant in our areas and how to best manage the vines for the climate.
Thank you. They use amendments and fertilizer?
That was really cool to see! Traminette is a really promising variety. We can’t get it here as so far they aren’t allowing any of the new hybrids in Ontario, I think that might change soon. I guess Traminette doesn’t have sufficient phylloxera resistance on its own roots? Thank you for the video.
Klaus
Thanks! Yeah, traminette is great. I have it on the 3309 but I do have a couple own-rooted that I am not too worried about. If you can get it grafted, I think it is worth the extra money to get the right roots for your soil but if not, I doubt you will have phylloxera issues. Most of the hybrids are also available on their own roots.
The Home Winemaking Channel in the past I have grown DeChaunac, seyval,chambourcin and Foch all on their own roots. I took the vines out because the amount I can grow in my small yard is way too little for my scale of winemaking. I started a bunch of Foch cuttings for a friend with land and taught him how to grow, then we share the wine I make. One advantage of own root vines is you can propagate your own any time you want to expand or fill a gap.
Klaus
Hello, what is the recommended distance between the vines?
This is the stage I am at with my small vineyard. I am in zone 5b I have Concord, Vignoles, Chambourcin, Niagaras, and hopefully some Nortons. I was looking at adding Marquette, can you tell me more about the grape and the use in wine production? Thank you for all the wine making videos they have been extremely helpful.
You GO boy!😎
You’re Upstate New York like me?
@@factorybear5264 northern Missouri
@@benrogers354 thank you for the quick reply sir, and greetings from the still chilly mountains of Eastern Upstate NY. I’m near Oneonta NY. About 100 miles west of Albany if that means anything. I bought two Concord vines from Lowes and want to embark on the task of planting them but I’m still pretty nervous because the temperatures still get pretty low at night but should be above freezing. I really want to get this right. How are your vines doing? I noticed it’s been a few years since you posted this comment. Have you had success?
@@factorybear5264 I have lost a few due to herbicides drifting from row crop spraying. Grapes are redolent still have a lot hanging on. Honestly now the neglect is more on me for not enough up keep.
Where do you recommend buying grape vines from and should I buy just cuttings or grafted I live in Maryland zone 6
Thanks enjoy all your videos
Good question 🤔 i need t o know too where to buy grape vines from ?????
My merlot vines are starting to peek out of the grow tubes (30 inch). I want to train to bilateral cordons, any advice on the nest step? I'm a rookie among rookies.
Any update on your Merlots vineyard? Did you make any wine yet?
Thanks for the informative video. I am thinking about growing my own cab sauv grapes. Any idea how many vines I would need to yield around 50 bottles per year? I see that some people blend them and some don't, any ideas? Thanks again!
You are welcome! you are going to want 15-20 vines to be in that ballpark. Cab Sauv takes a pretty long time to ripen, so you will want to make sure that it will ripen in your climate.
@@TheHomeWinemakingChannel Wow, thanks for the quick response! I don't suppose you could ballpark how wide an area 15-20 vines would require? .25 acre or less? Yes, we are on the southern edge of 6b in in southern indiana. My initial research suggests that the area could be suitable. Of course soil conditions, etc. matter as well. I'm reaching out to my local cooperative extension to get more advice. Cheers :)
Way less... You are going to typically space them about 5-8 feet apart depending on how fertile your soil is. So you basically need one row that is about 100 or so feet long or two 50 foot rows. For 50 bottles you are going to need about 150lbs of grapes. You can. Grow between 4-10tons per acre depending on how much you load the vines.
Where can you buy the blue covers to put around the vine, is the somewhere online to buy supplies
Blue X grow tube. Double A Vineyards has them for sale.
Went through your videos but didn’t see where you buy from. We’re in the north south and now sure what company to trust
I have had the best luck with Double A vineyards in NY.
What kind of string is that you got up there is that rope or string or wire or what
So you want a natural Vine to be dormant because you want all the energy in that line dormant to bring out.. in spring.. make sense I wonder if you could plant pause in the summertime when it's all green what is you put the leaves off I started to get to root. would it work all right with it just not do very good
How did you get the stem with little roots
God wills you live you should study loam. You can add clay, silt, or sand depending on your soil type to get the ideal soil mixture for planting.
Did you put back the original clay soil? Is there a need to add some top soil or any other enrichments?
Yes, I put the original soil back. If I were to amend the soil locally in the hole, the roots don't want to reach outward and downward as quickly. I did use a little 10-10-10 fertilizer around each vine once they started to leaf out in the first spring. About 1 cup pet vine, spread out in about a 2-3 foot radius. That helped them get up to the wires a little quicker and get past the risk of rabbit and groundhog attack. The little vines, if they aren't in tubes are a high risk to get bitten off.
The Home Winemaking Channel thank you!
@@TheHomeWinemakingChannel Interesting... usually it is recommended to put top (most fertile) soil to the bottom of the planting whole so that roots would have more nutrients and grow faster.
Where do you buy the cuttings
Hi, interested in the grape variety for clay soils, how can I get intouch with you?
Where can I purchase a good quality wine rootstock for the northeast climate. I livw in NJ area.
Please provide links if possible.
Thanks

What orientation. North to South rows?
Good video but you didn’t talk about plant spacing or row spacing????
I'm using Cabernet Sauvignon seeds. Any advice there?
Don't. Lol. Unless you are intentionally developing a hybrid, grapes should be propagated from cuttings which are "clones" of the parent vine. Many times the seeds will create vines that are not fruit bearing. Additionally Cab Sauv is from the species vinifera, which has no natural resistance to phylloxera so they are in almost all cases grafted to American rootstocks. You can certainly hobby around with the seeds but for the insane time and effort it takes to manage a vineyard it is very with the initial investment of good vines. That is the least of the investment in the long run.
Boss, please send me some of your grape saplings. We don't have wine grade grapes here. And if things go well I'll send you some bottles I'll be making from it.
How about spacing for a backyard grower
how mamy plants needed for 10 acres of land?
Can/should I clip the roots?
You should clip the ends to stimulate growth, but for the most part leave the ball of roots large and spread it out as much as you can when planting.
How can I buy Cabernet Sauvignon grape seeds or plant to grow in Myanmar. here in Myanmar they don't grow this type of grape yet. Can u suggest?? Can I order you??
I have Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings
@@stephenmasila7623 where are you ? I need your cabernet sauvignon cuttings
The first month I have found you cant water the grapes too much. Under watering can be a death sentence for young grapes, so I tend to over water the first month just to be sure they take.
I agree. I think that is the case with most anything you are transplanting, at least until the roots start to take hold. We get a fair bit of rain in early spring so as long as you plant around april, nature will mostly take care of most of the watering.
How long are the blue grow tubes
30 inches tall
How many plants would make a gallon of wine
About two one the spacing that I have. You get about 7-10 lbs of grapes per vine depending on how you trellis them. You generally need about 14lbs for a gallon of wine. You can definitely get that off of one vine if you let it sprawl a little more. If you can make about 6 gallons it is a good amount. The thing about wine making is you end up giving so much away and the process is so long that it is worth making a lot more than you think you need.
can I use bone meal
Is it too late to plant in northern Ohio?
No, I will be planting later this week.
Asum video
he says hes planting grape vines but his intro music says hes planting weed
I discovered a great compilation of videos that should help you at Grape Grower Folio

There are many unanswered comments regarding spacing and quantity of vines needed, so I will chime in.
Firstly, one vigorous growing vine with a wide caliper trunk can give you enough grapes for 18 gallons of wine. It takes years to get it to that point.
To make the quantity of grapes go quicker, you simply plant more vines.
Beware of books telling you how to grow grapes. They are written for commercial type vineyards where they use harvesting machines. The vines are planted densely and pruned for such equipment. A backyard vineyard is completely different. We harvest by hand and can let cordons grow long, thus eliminating the need for so many plants. Longer cordons can bear a LOT of grapes. With that being said, pay attention to trunk caliper size. If you allow long cordons to bear too many grapes early on in its life you will stress the roots too soon and it could die. Allow the vine to grow two years with no grapes. In the year with the third leaf, allow it to bear only 1/3 of the fruit it sets. And only keep inner clusters. For the 4th leaf year, let it bear 2/3. After that, make your own judgement. If your grapes do not fully ripen, you may have left too many on.
Another point I will make is in regards to varieties. For zones 4 and barely 5, or in places with heavy clay, be sure to select super hardy varieties that are also earlier ripening. Your environment is unique to you. Learn what it will allow you to do. I have two small vineyards with the same grape varieties in each. One location ripens one week earlier than the other. Microenvironments are a real thing.
You don't absolutely need blue tubes. Hardware cloth can be used instead and will allow the trunk to remain dry. Keep it on for at least three years if you have rabbits. (I call them long-eared beavers for a reason.)
All the best with your vineyards!

What's your thoughts on clipping the roots?
you use bone meal
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
Anyone else hand issues with farmers spraying herbicides? Dicamba needs to be banned. It’s ravaged my vines.
