An Art of Centuries<\/strong> – \u00a0Growing grapes has been a long time tradition in many gardens. Gardeners can enjoy the fresh taste of homegrown grapes, jams wines and much more. However the work to maintain grapevines can be a challenge. As with other fruit grapevines need weeding, fertilizing, pruning as well as disease and pest control.
\nGrowing and Propagation –<\/strong>\u00a0 The key to growing grapes is spending time on soil preparation before planting. \u00a0A soil test should be conducted to make sure that the soil pH is to the required\u00a0standard. \u00a0Next \u00a0the soil should be dug as far down as \u00a024 inches and placed at least 8 feet apart incorporating well rotted manure as it is a good source of organic matter. Most grapes require full sun, moderate amounts of water and well drained slightly acidic soil that should be preferably sandy and loam. Over the winter time or early spring are ideal times to plant vines.
\nAlso if one wishes to propagate shrubs and vines once again winter time or early spring is the perfect time to do so. For the best plants, only pencil thick \u00a0pre ripened cuttings should be selected. This is \u00a0because stems that are not ripe, weak or green will rot and should not be used. Also avoid using cuttings with black lumps present as it indicates winter spore clusters of \u00a0Botryis mildew . These cuttings can be propagated indoors or outdoors but should always be planted so that the roots are always kept cool and can be achieved by placing large stones or rocks around the base to shield the soil from direct sunlight. It is essential to maintain size, shape, and productivity. If left unattended grapevines can become somewhat unruly and fruiting will be poor due to over production of vegetation.
\n 
\nProduction<\/strong> – \u00a0 The vine will produce fruit within the first two years but \u00a0are best left on the vine. Thin the vine \u00a0 by removing 2\/3 of the grapes and by the following year you can expect to produce usable fruits.
