How to look after grapes

Grapes – thermophilic berry. At the correct agrotechnology in northern latitudes it is possible to receive steadily big crops. The main thing is to choose correctly the place, in due time to carry out cutting, fertilizing and winter preparation.

For landing of grapes choose the solar, protected from wind place. You should not make landing in the lowland and on hills. The site has to be equal. The most optimal variant is to plant grapes on sunny side near house wall. 1.5 meters are enough to recede. If there is no such opportunity, establish special boards which will protect vineyard from wind and to serve as retro-reflectors that will create additional heat.

Grapes practically do not take root on the acidified sites therefore indicators of acidity need to be brought to naught. For this purpose it is possible to buy special deoxidants which are on sale in shop for gardeners and gardeners.

Carefully prepare the site. Remove all weeds and roots. Pay special attention to that around vineyard solanaceous cultures did not grow. It is necessary to form bush in the first year. For the winter cut off grapes most shortly, having left only small bushes. At once cover vineyard with fir twigs. The next year, grapes will quickly grow and will begin to fructify. Do not try to create bush on the southern type. Such practice does not make success in northern latitudes. The form of bush has to be horizontal therefore you carry out cutting to stlantsevy form. On rod leave the strongest escape. During the whole summer you carry out cutting of again appearing escapes to prevent thickening. To prevent rooting of the lower branches, enclose under them roofing material, without allowing contact with the earth. Bind all left escapes in lane or to support. At the end of May feed up grapes liquid nitrogen. It will accelerate growth of escapes. In August it is worth truncating rods that all useful substances have concentrated in roots. Begin preparation for winter at the beginning of October. At such way of organized leaving you will receive steadily big crops.
