I've been tempted to order some rootstock vines from Double A to do my own grafting from cuttings. I mostly want to do it just for the sake of doing it and possibly to sell some grafted vines locally.
Very cool. Bear Down!
I appreciate the compliment on my yard but the photo doesn't really show my junkyard that's a remnant of my bachelor days that my wife is constantly "suggesting" I clear out.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have to read through that article a little more thoroughly when I get a chance.
I'm also wondering if I'm on the right track with watering. I have two 1 GPM drip emitters per vine spaced about a foot away on either side and I'm running them for 90 minutes...
I was a little concerned about that too. I'm working on making my whole backyard rattlesnake proof for my dog though which would also keep the rabbits out so I should be able to remove the wire pretty soon. In the meantime I'll just check frequently to make sure nothing is growing through the wire.
I read about a winemaker in France who accidentally crushed his own head in his wine press. I'd say that's a worse thing that could happen to a wine maker. Just sayin... 😬
