Grapes are a tasty berry that you can grow yourself. In the article you will learn how to do it.
Landing place
The main requirement for planting any variety of grapes: the place where you are going to plant a vineyard should be sunny and well protected from the wind. Usually, the sunny sides of houses, walls, fences, hedges are used for this purpose.
Soil for grapes
The best solution is to choose a soil with a low content of gravel and a good drainage system. The choice of such soil allows for both horizontal and vertical growth of the root system. In addition, such soil provides oxygen and good drainage.
How to understand that the grapes need to be watered
If you're not sure if you still need to water your grapes after a light rain, look at the young shoots. If there is enough moisture at the roots, the growths will stand upright without dropping foliage. If you see that the grass near the trunk has dried up, this is a signal that the grapes need to be watered.
Fertilizer
The following fertilizers are suitable for the first spring top dressing: ammonium nitrate or urea, superphosphate, potassium salt. It is important that during this period the grapes receive a powerful supply of nitrogen. Recall that this macronutrient is necessary for the formation of leaves.
What needs to be done so that the grapes are large
A very effective technique that allows you to grow very large clusters with large berries is ringing the shoots. Its essence lies in the artificial blocking of the flow of organic substances produced by leaves into the root system and perennial parts of grape bushes.
