Caring for grapes

Do you dream of an amber or ruby \u200b\u200btassel from your own vineyard? Or maybe enough dream and time to start a business? Watch around: Surely your neighbors are already tallowing with their grapes. And even the climate of the middle strip is not a hindrance.

After frosty winter
For grapes there is no greater misfortune than frost. And in this winter he tried great - he passed for minus 20 °. It hurts to look at what turned with love grown and exhausted. But there is nothing to do, you need to think how to correct the position. And, above all, it is pruning. Here the usual rules will not help.
If grape bushes are a bit, then I advise you to trim the vine on swelling eyes. So you can see where and which kidname is extincting to form the necessary load. Well, if the vineyard is big, then we do differently. Sut off from different bushes each variety of ten vines with the first eye and put them in a bucket with water. After a week, the sharp blade cut off the halves of the eye so that all the kidneys were visible (central and replacing), and determine the dead and alive. The first will be gray or brown, and the second is green. If dead kidneys are more than 90%, then you cut grapes for 2-3 peels, and if less, then for the future harvest we will fight. The fruit link is formed from an arrow of 8-10 eyes and two bitch substitution. As they grow, we spend a fragment, dry and green strapping.

What is sick of vine
I was inherited by the vineyard, but it was not in the best condition. I had to work hard to bring it in order. The main mischief was a mosaic disease. This is a viral disease (infectious chlorosis), in which the leaves lose the green color and become yellow, and the petioles are covered with light dots. Flowers were not pollinated enough, and the berries were small. It is noteworthy that the sick bushes in the first year developed normally, but then the growth of new shoots slowed down and the yield decreased.
As a rule, signs of illness appear at the end of May-June. It is in the fact that it is transmitted to healthy plants from patients. It often happens during vaccinations, and also transferred to the sucking insects. Most of all suffer from weakened vine.
As soon as I encountered this misfortune, I began to carefully examine new seedlings before boarding. In the satellites of the flowing lots, patients of plants emerged.
It was struggling with sucking pests and sprayed them with a solution of ferrous vapor (10 g on the water of water). In the autumn or early in the spring around the patients of bushes, I make grooves and I put 150 - 400 g of ferrous vapora, then watering water and fall asleep the earth.

Shelter rules
I was fascinated by the cultivation of grapes four years ago. True, there were already some grapes on our site: Isabella (we mainly used it for the arch on the entrance), Lydia and two varieties of wine grapes. All of them are rather unpretentious, frost resistant, constantly fruit and do not require any care.
But then I became interested in cutting varieties. At first, the seedlings of two varieties were acquired: phenomenon and cache. The third year received on one large brush of grapes. Now I have 17 table grapes.
So, the harvest is assembled. Storage of grapes is a delicate matter, so I proceed most of juicy berries in the wine, which is then used throughout the year. Now it is necessary to properly prepare grape vines for winter. The last authority over the row watering is spent before the shelter of grape bushes.
Then on the turn of the trimming. Usually it is done after leaffall. But in our black soot of a natural leaf fall, because the vine does not have time to ripe it completely, and the foliage begins to be discharged only after the onset of the first frosts. Therefore, 2-3 weeks before their occurrence, I spend the spraying of ka-liino-phosphorous fertilizers to strengthen and accelerate the ripening of the vines, successfully converting them.
In mid-October, proceed to trimming grape bushes. You need to have time to hide the bushes with dry weather. By October in the grapevose, there is an outflow of plastic substances from the leaves in sleeves and roots. Therefore, I start the trimming, without waiting for a leaf fall. When trimming, I delete knowingly unnecessary parts, a non-visible vine, underdeveloped shoots, stepsing, mustaches. Sleeves shortening the bitch of replacement, on which we again create a fruit link.
Before the shelter, spray a vineyard with a solution of ferrous vitriol (against rotary bacteria).
The shelter is: pine cheese (from mice) sprinkle the root surface with a radius of a half-meter from the head of the bush. I comply with the earth, we spray at the same cheese or a layer of a layer of 5-10 cm. From above, on the area of \u200b\u200bthe covered needles, put the cellophane film or rubberoid. At the corners I throw on the blade of the Earth so that the film does not flew away. That's all the shelter.
