BENEFITS
Soil Preparation
Healthy soil should have good tilth, nutrient content,
and a viable population of beneficial microorganisms.
We recommend using natural and organic ingredients
to prepare the soil and maintain soil fertility. It is always
a good idea to have a soil test to identify your soil type
(sandy, loam, silt, clay) and find out your soil pH.

About Grapes

Plant grapes in the spring after the ground has thawed and
there is no longer danger of frost.
Choose a location with well-drained soil that receives full sun.
Loosen soil prior to planting.
Remove plant from packaging and lightly loosen the bottom of
the root ball to release the roots. Dig a hole in loosened soil as
deep as the roots and about twice as wide. Be sure the hole is
large enough to encompass the roots without bending them.
Place plant in hole with the roots down and the crown/top of
the roots about 1" below soil surface. Space plants 8' apart in
rows 10' apart.
Cover with soil and water well so that the soil settles. Keep soil
moist during periods of dry weather but do not overwater.
Grape Planting Instructions

* Plants will produce a small amount of fruit after being planted, with more plentiful
crops occurring on plants that are 2-4 years old.
* Grapes need a support system and regular pruning to maximize fruit production.
