Tips for winegrowers

You may be interested in:
With proper care, grape bushes delight with their crops. Bear fruit up to 80, and even 100 years. In the Russian latitudes, a novice vineyard should not be chasing new products. Not knowing how to care for them, you can only waste time.

When planting a vineyard, you should consider:

  • landing place;
  • placement of grape varieties;
  • soil features;
  • climatic conditions.

Grapes are best planted in the southern part of the site, on a hill. Bushes planted in a lowland will be covered with cold, moist air, which adversely affects their bearing.

Experienced growers plant early and late ripe grapes separately, since the time of feeding, watering and other care for them is different. When buying seedlings, you need to select bushes of different ripening periods. Then all season you will consume fresh fruits.

When caring for berry vines should take into account the characteristics of the soil. Before planting, it is not out of the way for a beginning winegrower to analyze the soil. Even with current selection achievements, not all varieties feel good in cold climates. Under such growing conditions, those that can withstand severe frosts, spring frosts should be selected. They have a developed structure and a strong root system.

Advice!
Especially tender grades are better grow outdoors in the trench. They are dug up to a height of 80 cm and a width of 60 cm. The bottom is covered with foam, and then a drainage pipe. Through it, the roots will receive enough moisture, heat and proper nutrition.

Reviews of winegrowers

Anton, 40 years old

Growing Ataman. The plant is not bad, it gives good harvests. The fruits are delicious. But there is one drawback. Only the rain will pass - the berries will burst. Probably, I will refuse this grade. Almost did not try these berries. Crops are dying in the rains.

 

Vladimir, 69 years old

In my nursery I grow many interesting varieties. However, I want to say separately about Alom-2. It gives good harvests. The variety is large-fruited. The berries are large, weigh up to 10 g. I grow this table variety for sale. Very pleased with the results.

 

Nikita, 51 years old

Of all my vineyards, I want to mention Harold. The plant is very unpretentious in care. For the winter I warm and trim it. The vineyard is growing behind the house. So, he gets the maximum heat. It gives good harvests. The fruit gives delicious. We eat with the whole family and ripe. We also make juices, homemade wine.

All varieties without exception are very tasty. Use fresh. But according to the purpose, they are still divided. Commercial crops are for sale, and from wine - they make excellent wine and juices.
