I am a New Orleans native, residing in Little Rock for the last 15 years. My wife and I are wine lovers (hearty reds are our favorites), and we to own a 16 acre property about 30 minutes from our house. I had a few acres cleared, built a fenced in plating area and recently put my first vines in the ground. My biggest challenge at this point is trying to figure out pest and disease control. I was looking at Bordeaux mixture but I saw one note that copper fungicides are bad for some types (we have Cabernet planted). Any tips? this is all new to me and trying to learn from those with experience.
I intend to have an acre of cabernet planted in the next 2 years. I toyed with the idea of doing it all at once, but that could be an expensive lesson if i screw up my first year in, so thought i would be more gradual.
thanks in advance!
