This sounds like an excellent opportunity to do a batch each way and see which, if any, is superior!

This has been an excellent forum, I am so glad I posted! Thanks everyone for all the helpful information, I’ll try some of these spurious next year and maybe post on my progress then!

I have added these to my list

This, I am discovering

Thanks for tip, friend! I’ve not read it done that way but it makes sense.

Coinoculating? Is that pitching at the same time as the yeast?

simple question here, I will be making petite petal this fall, if that matters at all, and I am planning out my steps. When should I begin ML fermentation if at all? How do I know it is time? Is it something that is always done with reds and if not under what conditions would I not do an ML...

Color me jealous, how nice for you, lolz

I have only 12 vines, so it should t require a pump sprayer. Now I just had someone recommend water and dish soap because it drown the bugs, anyone heard of that? She said it kills them by the hundreds on her crabapple tree

See now that’s an interesting answer, what animals eat them? Seems like the liquid sevin is unanimous though. I tried the powder last year, it killed the bugs great but the powder coated plants didn’t grow very well because they weren’t getting sunlight.

So you sprayed sevin about every week or so, did you cover the vines or did you just hit the bugs like masbustelo?

I have so many beetles I’m not sure that would work, though that may be because I haven’t been using the sevin. Did you treat the ground lay fall?

Hi friend, thanks for the reply. I think o tried sevin last year and it wasn’t awesome. You’re saying you used the spray? What time do you go out and treat?

hi everybody, my poor vines have been eaten alive this year. I have been spraying neem oil liberally but it’s only delayed the inevitable it seems. What is everyone else using to control this pest?

That’s interesting to know... when is it? Like i said to the others I have a new baby, so scheduling is tight this year.

Thts a fantastic idea but I really want to be able to swap bottles with each other and do tastings. I was picturing more of low key sort of gathering at first, get to know each other, the. Maybe go to winery. Plus I have a brand new baby, so it’s easier for me to go to events I organize! I will...

Sweet, I’ll give it a look, thanks friend!

BTW Dennis, I just want say I agree, your grapes looks splendid my friend!

They are my Foch grapes! I got them from doubleA and I think they are grafted, but I don’t remember. I planted them 2 years ago as a trial, not knowing anything and just sort of learning by beating my head on the wall so to speak. I then promptly poisoned them with weed killer sprayed much to...

Yes probably! I had thought of that but, with a new baby I really couldn’t afford to buy new vines nor did I want to plant them. I thought they were dead and I figured I would just replant next year... but since they are growing I am enjoying the mystery! I won’t have anything off of them this...
