So, now let's decide on a place.
Choose where the sun hits. It is advisable to use an even one. Almost no excess moisture.
How to grow berry grapes?
To begin with, we dig a hole for planting, the depth of which should be approximately 0.3-0.5 m. We mix the earth with organic fertilizers.
We fill in one layer of gravel at the bottom. You can also set the labor with a diameter of ten centimeters, so it is more convenient to water the plant.
Before planting the berries, we dip the additives into a solution, which should be made of mullein and clay (in a ratio of one to two).
Shoots should be cut, literally into two buds, and softened into paraffin, previously melted.
We place the planting in the hole, spreading the roots of the plant. We fill the hole with earth and tamp it. After that, we water the plant with warm water and mulch the hole with manure.
Grape bushes care.
First you need to put in a certain construction. To do this, we put two pillars, preferably made of wood, and draw several rows of wire between these pillars. Next, we tie the branches of the plant to a wire, thereby setting the desired course for them.
The first 3 years after watering or rain, it is necessary to loosen the ground. The soil should be watered periodically. When the fourth year comes, the grapes will need watering only four times in one season.
It is worth noting that grapes must be treated with special agents for various diseases or pests.
Every year in the fall we prune the grapes, do not forget about the removal of weeds. Before winter, cover it with plastic wrap. In the spring we open the grapes after all the temperature drops and frost.
