The vine and ready for winter

It is time to cut grapes and shelter, if you have not already. Tell stages.

When the cut and cover

Typically, the grapes are covered with the same time with roses - it is the end of October and the first decade of November. Previously, it is not necessary, because the vine has a tendency to damping off. Most are afraid of cold grape roots than stems. Lower the temperature to minus 6 degrees are their already stressful. Therefore it is necessary to stable sub-zero temperatures have time to carry out the activities with this culture.

pruning

Let's start with the trimming. If grapes dropped all the leaves by the end of October, so he went into a state of rest. Pruning grapes does not tolerate in the warm, because it can still expire juice.

You need to remove it from the support and unravel to start pruning. It is necessary to count 10-12 buds from the ground and cut to the right place at the vine. So, to do this operation with each stem. Trim need exactly, not at an angle, in such a case will be less than the wound surface. The cut above the bud to do, count on it 1 cm.

How to hide

Before the shelter grapes, it must be placed under the substrate. This can be a metal, go some other material that is waterproof. This material should be spread out at the foot of the grapes, to put vines.

This is followed by gently pressed grapes and put on the substrate. But the vine is not easy to bend down, you should try to do so. For pressing, I use a small arc and supports the entire length of the grapes. Next, wrap the thick spunbond (preferably double-layer). And on top cover with plastic wrap. Bottom pin bricks or stones.

Now grapes are ready for winter.
