    Transplanting 1 year old vines

    I moved 50 vines, 1 ,2, and 3 year. I used a 42" tree spade. Vines were moved in late October in Southern Wisconsin. They all survived the move, however they all showed stress the first growing season. Looking backwards and considering the cost I would have replanted new stock...

    More frost damage

    I start sprinklers at 40 degrees and leave run until Temps are above 40. When ice melts it takes heat from surrounding area. Air or shoots. Must keep ice wet until it melts. All this is good until dew point is very low, then water evaporates and takes heat from grape shoots.

    Lawn treatment damage to young grapevines

    You have 24-d damage. This is the main herbicide in most lawn weed control products. Check all product labels and don't use any where near grapes. I have damage when neighbors sprayed 100 yards away. They should recover. Mine looked worse than yours and recovered.

    starting cuttings

    About 5 years ago I pruned my vines in late February. I made about 25 cuttings, stuck them in potting soil, put them in a old unheated barn. After a few months I saw bud swelling, then transfered them outside in a dense woods. Kept them watered and all but 2 grew. Now the sad part, I had no...
