thanks so much for your kind comment @thelaundrylady !!! our grape vines are about 10 years old now. we planted them when we started this food forest. the variety matters...as far as your location. look into varieties that thrive in your location. other tips....i'd say always plant with mycos. we use this: https://www.amazon.com/Xtreme-Gardening-4402-Mykos-2-2-Pound/dp/B003STB5N6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530115147&sr=8-1&keywords=mycos
we plant with lots of worm castings...and azomite. then...sit back...and watch them thrive. so many variables...to specific locations...but the great equalizer is the wood chips IMO. James prigioni... @gardeningchannel dives deep into the why of using wood chips in your food forest. the plants ALL thrive...over time.
Thank you for your reply. I also use lots of worm casting, azomite, mykos and wood chips, so I guess I already have the right start for growing grapes :) . It's funny you mentioned everything I use as well. They seem to be the right combinations for growing just about everything. Ten years, wow your food forest is very established. Your photos inspire me to grow my own grapes for sure. I will do some research for the variety for my area. Thank you for the video. I watch James prigioni on YouTube all the time. Love what he is doing here on Steemit, too.
