If space is not a problem, do the anchors. You only have two, correct? If it was me, I'd set them in Sacrete. Do it right once and you're good for years.

Looks like a Leafhopper to me, but I'm not an entomologist.

Xnke For grafting, you might want to experiment with teflon tape.

Thank you for all the answers.

Note that if you try to mix he vinegar spray that there are industrial strength solutions that might be more powerful. https://www.factorydirectchemicals.com/blogs/blog/industrial-vinegar-the-difference-between-20-30-pure

I've read that it is best to apply prior to rain, or in the midst of a sequence of rainy days if possible. Ive also read that you will have some coverage up to one inch of rain. After an accumulation of an inch, you need to reapply, even if it has only been 2-4 days for instance. I would assume...

I Have some Petite Pearl using HWC cordons and spurs. This is their fourth year. I've had problems with excess vigor, with canes running for 20 feet etc. This spring I pruned the majority of the spurs to 3 or 4 buds, thinking maybe I can control vigor this way. I've read a few articles on shoot...

What have your soil temperatures been ?

Mine are under copyright.

I would think deer could trample etc, if they wanted to. I use it for rabbits, maybe hardware cloth would be better. Wire it to rebar. The vines tend to grow through the chicken wire, so the deer could eat the vines.

I do a walk through a couple times a day after they show up, and shoot everyone I see. I know you have lots more vines. They weren't too heavy here last year. Are you sure your traps aren't attracting them?

Is the tape better than old regular wire?

If you got a good snow cover on the buds, it might save you.

Dennis Griffith Which Sevin do you use, the one that is Carbaryl based or the newer Zeta-Cypermethrin based one? The newer one works much better for me. I have the Carbaryl based that I bought two years ago. They drop like 'flys'.

If anybody has some ideas how to rig up electric fencing (for raccoons), I would appreciate suggestions.

My 'vineyard' layout is complicated, I cant figure out how to electrify it.

I will throw a caveat regarding no fruit second year. Regarding Northern Hybrids, they have little in common with Vinifera. Depending on the variety, soil and climate, you may well desire to let the vines fruit the second year to avoid extreme vigor.

Dennis Griffith After I prune, which was April 1st for me this year. I spray with dormant oil and Southern Ag Liquid Copper Fungicide. I believe that leaf type Phylloxera can be gotten under control, or eliminated. Maybe the dormant oil helps.It would be a good idea, after leaf drop in early...

I haven't had any problems. My understanding is that the endemic infections happen relatively early in the season. The mancozeb and sulfur should handle things up front. The second half, you need to be proactive. Spray before it rains, maybe after, depending. Maybe weekly sprays versus ten days...

I use mancozeb and micronized sulfur roughly until July 1st. Then Immunox once and then switch over to organic sprays (Serenade, Actinovate, Bi-Carbonates) and until harvest. But I'm not a commercial grower.
