The Garden Advice team have created a few notes which should help you produce a first class grapevine.<\/p>\n
1. Choosing a vine – If possible make sure you choose one that’s already shown sight of flowering and fruiting.<\/p>\n
2. Plant with lots of organic mater ideally garden compost or leaf mould from a broadleaved forest floor.<\/p>\n
3. Train 4 stems for each vine plant horizontally along wines or along a roof in a glasshouse.This helps the grapes form fruiting spurs.<\/p>\n
4. Cut back summer foliage and water shoots in July to produce a strong network of fruiting spurs along the stems.<\/p>\n
5. Tar wash the vine in the winter to kill any overwintering pests and fungal spores.<\/p>\n
6. Treat your vine in the Summer and Spring with Bordeaux Mixture.<\/p>\n
7. Watering – Aim to keep the compost or soil Constantly moist not to dry and not to wet as the grapes form in May and June. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
