This has been the most useful guide on CZcams for starting a vineyard. My wife and I will be putting in 200 vines this coming spring, so thank you for staying consistent with your uploads! You're an invaluable resource, my friend. Cheers!
Fantastic! So pleased you find them useful. Best of luck with your vineyard.
Yes! I found it useful and I only have four vines for table grapes.
Such a useful ‘bunch’ of videos, thank you for taking the time to document what you do, I purchased your book as a useful easy to find source of info /reference. I’m in the process of buying a house with some land and you have given me the confidence to go for it and plant a small vineyard. 🙏
That's great, thank you so much. Good luck in your vineyard - it take some work to get it up and going but it is very rewarding.
My Grandfather used coal soot on the roses diluted in water. It stops black spot on the leaves. If you can still find this rare substance it might be worth a try.
Very interesting. I will have to have a look in to that - thank you.
It’s amazing how fast grapes grow. It wasn’t that long ago you had an empty field.
Hi there. I know - I can't believe it myself!!
I can't thankyou enough for doing these videos, my grape vines in my small garden are well over grown, years old and never get great grapes, so your teaching is so helpful now I'm wondering do I cut everything bk and start again as my three grape vines have taken over my small garden with no grape for years xx
Hi there. Thank you for your comments. I think if it were me, I would wait until the end of the season now and let the vine go into dormancy over winter. It would be at this time, to heavily prune the vine and leave a few healthy looking shoots. Let these new shoots develop in the new year.
I think if you were to do something drastic now, as the vine is in full swing, you may shock it somewhat. That said, I would throw this open to anyone else on youtube here to give their advice too. Vines can take are hard pruning at the end of the year and they seem to come back stronger the following year.
Good luck though and thanks for following me on our vineyard quest too.
If you want to use wood - get it from Jackson they last 25 years minimum. I purchased some from Mole Valley and they only lasted five years.
Hi John. Totally agree with you. Modern stakes just don't last at all. We treated ours before we put them in the ground but we will have to replace them at some stage in the future.
Great advice and info for vine growing and very helpful. I suspect that the book will be the same which I've just ordered. Thank you.
Hi there
That's very kind of you, thank you so much. Any queries just drop me a message.
Thanks again for your video. Always enjoyable and informative. I've got a small (120 vine) vineyard in North Carolina, USA. Canopy management and leaf plucking are a very important and very time consuming process. My vines rows run north to south putting the wall of grapes facing east and west. When I started in 2017 the common advice I received was, after flowering and cluster set, to pluck all leaves on the east side to expose the clusters entirely and then on the west facing side to pull only enough to leave 'dappled' sunlight. The last year or two many vineyards in my area (there's 75-100 commercial vineyards within an hour or so of me) have been changing their process to now doing complete leaf removal on BOTH sides. Definitely more work but I can see the benefits and now do that on my vines. I've not experienced any black rot or mold issues on an clusters in the last 2 seasons. Probably more dumb luck than anything.
Hi there. That's really interesting - thank you. I think I'm going to try both sides this year as I am thinking that if the grapes can get as much sunshine and air around them then hopefully this should help with any mold issues - but it is a battle here in our relatively damp climate.
I think I will do another video after flowering which should be in the next few weeks or so.
But thanks once again for sharing your advice.
Cheers
Anthony
@@mycountrylife810 I don't know if it was advice as much as just sharing differences. If it works out great then it was advice 😁
I think the original thinking for 'dappled sun' was to prevent sunburning the grapes since it gets pretty hot and sunny here, but I don't think that ever proved to be a real issue.
Appreciate your hard work and positivity! Love the videos!
Hi there. Thank you that means a lot. Cheers
I’m eventually trying to boarder our field with cannon hall grapevines. Sadly a slow approach we bought two and took cuttings once they were big enough we now have 12 slowly gaining strength spreading out on the hillside and more to take cuttings from each year 👍🇬🇬
Excellent. Keep going, you'll get there.
Доброго дня!
У цьому відео ви на нових насаженнях молоді пагони винограду ложити і прикріплюєте до дроту.
Я дивлюсь ваші відео і знаю, що на плодоношення ви лишаєте минулорічні гілки, а ті що були рукавами обрізаєте.
В мене невеликий виноградник трошки більше 30 молодих кущів. З яких лише 2 вже плодоносят. І я виховую свої молоді кущі так щоб нові гілки росли вверх. А ви їх положоли горизонтально. Хоч вони вже мали грона. такий прийом в мене призводить до сильного розвитку пасинків.
Поясніть мені будьласка може я щось роблю не правильно.
Дуже дякую!
