How to Grow Grape Vines

Growing grape vines is a great hobby and would suggest it to everyone. In this post I have put together some suggestions that every beginner will need to understand before they are ready to start growing their own grape vines.

Let's start by picking the right sort of a vine. To initially question I want you to ask yourself is what your function is. Some people wish to grow a grape vine so they can start producing their own red wine or make grape juice. Others are not thinking about those things, but would rather have some yummy consuming grapes. Others still, are not even interested in grapes but would much like to cover their outdoor patio with some great looking vines. Your function will identify what type of grape vine to select.

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

Now once you know what you want your grape vines for, it's time to head out and buy some plants. You'll still need to know which plants are suitable for your geographical location and I would recommend that you seek advice from an expert on this. The simplest thing to do is just to go to one of the next-door neighbors, one that currently has a well growing grape vines, and ask him a couple of concerns. In my experience, people are always more than ready to speak about their vines.

Now go and find an excellent site for your vine. The vines will need a lot of sun and an abundant soil, so select sensibly. I would suggest that you construct the support for your vines before you start planting. If you try to do this in the future, you might damage the plants. There are many different kinds of support that you can use. To build one of the most basic one, merely drive some stakes into the ground and after that link them with wire. If your grape vines will be growing over a wall, you don't need to do anything at this moment, but you may have to put a couple of nails in that wall in the future. 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. Simply dig a little 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 certain that your vines have a lot of water, are fertilized and pruned. Again, seek advice from an expert in your location to find out how much water and fertilizer is required. This will differ from area to location. As far as pruning is concerned, you will not have to do any of it in the very first 6 months. So for now, simply unwind and let your vines grow.
