How to Grow Grape Vines

Growing grape vines is a great hobby and would advise it to everyone. In this short article I have assembled some recommendations that every novice will need to know before they are ready to start growing their own grape vines.

Let's start by choosing the right sort of a vine. To first question I want you to ask yourself is what your function is. Some people want to grow a grape vine so they can start producing their own white wine or make grape juice. Others are not interested in those things, but would rather have some delicious consuming grapes. Others still, are not even thinking about grapes but would similar to to cover their patio with some great looking vines. Your purpose will determine what kind of grape vine to pick.

I understand that some people would like to have both eating grapes and white wine grapes at the same time. Well you can. But if that's what you seek I would recommend that you plant 2 different sorts of grape vine - one that benefits consuming and one that benefits wine.

Now as soon as you know what you want your grape vines for, it's time to head out and buy some plants. You'll still need to understand which plants are suitable for your geographical area and I would recommend that you seek advice from a professional on this. The most convenient thing to do is merely to go to one of the next-door neighbors, one that currently has a well growing grape vines, and ask him a number of concerns. In my experience, people are constantly more than going to talk about their vines.

Now go and find a great site for your vine. The vines will need a great deal of sun and a rich soil, so choose wisely. I would recommend that you construct the support for your vines before you start planting. If you try to do this later on, you may damage the plants. There are various types of support that you can use. To construct the most basic one, merely drive some stakes into the ground and after that connect them with wire. If your grape vines will be growing over a wall, you don't need to do anything at this point, but you might have to put a couple of nails because wall later on. So keep that in mind.

Now it's time to put the plants into the ground. And believe it or not, that's the simple action. Just dig a small hole, put the plant in, and tap the dirt around it. Done. You've just became a vine grower.

From now on, you'll need to make sure that your vines have plenty of water, are fertilized and pruned. Again, seek advice from a professional in your location to find out just how much water and fertilizer is required. This will differ from location to area. As far as pruning is concerned, you will not have to do any of it in the very first 6 months. So in the meantime, simply relax and let your vines grow.
