Grape Vine – Soil Preparation.
Question
How does one prepare the soil to grow grape vines?
Answer
The key to preparing the soil for a grape vine is to add a lot of organic matter such as well rotted horse or cow manure.Garden compost is another good source of organic matter.It needs to be well rotted as fresh compost and manure will burn the plant roots.As with wisteria, vines naturally grow up trees from the forest floor and naturally grow in rich organic soils.In the UK a good number of the older plants you see on country houses were planted on dead sheep or cows to make sure there would be a good supply of organic matter over the years as the carcasses rotted down.
