The most effective ways of reproduction of grapes - cuttings and seedlings. For planting, you should choose the variety you need, purchase planting material and choose the right place and time for planting.
How to plant grapes correctly?
There are some rules, following which you can grow bushes with good yields:
- Where to plant grapes? To do this, usually choose a warm, well-lit place from the south or south-west side of the apartment building or farm building. In the daytime the walls of the building are heated, and at night - they give their heat to the plant. Do not plant vines in the immediate vicinity of trees with a developed root system, as well as on the northern slopes, where they can kill freezes.
- When to plant grapes? This is done either in spring or in autumn. In the first case, cuttings are first sprouted in glasses or bottles, waiting for the appearance of roots, and then for the whole summer they are sent for cultivation. On a permanent place, annual saplings are planted in April-May, and green cuttings from the middle of May to the end of June. In the case of autumn planting, the seedlings of the grapes must be carefully covered. Perform the planting works before the soil freezes.
- How to plant grapes seedlings? Most vineyard growers use seedlings, because they are better suited and do not require special storage conditions. Plant them in a specially prepared pit depth of at least 80 cm, which is filled with rubble, manure, chernozem and fertilizers. The plant needs to provide a drainage system, through which you will water. The sapling is located on the bottom of the pit and is covered with earth, while the root heel of the seedling should be oriented to the south, and the kidneys should be oriented to the north. For the first time on top of the seedling it is desirable to dress a trimmed plastic bottle.
- How to plant grapes with cuttings? Planting green cuttings is a more troublesome occupation, but this method has its adherents. Its advantage lies in the simplicity of transportation and storage. In early spring cuttings are checked for freshness, and those that are best preserved are planted. They should be soaked in the root stimulator, germinate at home and planted in a bucket with soil. There they grow during the summer, and in autumn the seedlings obtained from the cuttings are planted in a permanent place. Planting the chibouki grapes should, as a rule, according to the above scheme.
