In supermarkets and in the markets you can buy beautiful at any time, but not cheap bunches of different grape varieties. Yes, buying grapes is very convenient, because you do not need to grow a grape vine. Now let's consider this situation on the other side: in beautiful stores, full pesticides are full and, as often happens, there are no real grape aroma and taste. Therefore, for those who want and have the opportunity, we will now tell how to fine grapes.
Experienced gardeners believe that the seedlings of grapes are required at the end of March. Saplings can be extended in the basement on their own, so buy in the finished form.
How to plant grapes - Preparing a pit for a seedling
Preparation is quite wide and deep pits - this is the most time-consuming stage of grape landing. Opinions of specialists are diverged here. Some believe that the pit must have a meter in depth and meter wide. The second, on the contrary, believe that the hole can be done in the ground even scrap, a depth of about 50 centimeters.
Let's consider the most versatile method of preparing the pit for a seedling. In a well-accessible place, a square or round pit with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 70-80 cm is repaid. This job is recommended to be performed since the autumn, since it is necessary that the land in the pit is settled. The depth of planting grapes can increase in areas with a cold climate, as it is precisely the depth is the main protection of the roots of the freezing. In addition, this method of planting allows the plant as quickly as possible to root and give the first harvest for the next year.
How to plant grapes - filling the pit
- At the bottom of the pit it is necessary to pour a layer of rubble for 10-15 centimeters, which should be dissolved and tamped.
- Now we will take on the installation of drainage for watering. For this, a plastic tube is taken, a diameter of 50 millimeters and sticks into a layer of rubble at a distance of 10 centimeters from the edge of the pit. The upper part of the pipe should rise above the ground at least 10 centimeters.
- We fall asleep a layer of 10 centimeters of fertile black soil obtained from the top of the dug hole.
- 2 buckets of well-overwhelmed manure falling asleep.
- Prepare a fertilizer in advance: 150 gr. Potash fertilizer + 200 gr. Superphosphate. All this is evenly crumpled by the pit. You can also add 1 liter of ash along with fertilizer, or instead of it - in case you are a supporter of natural feeding.
- Again the layer of fertile land.
And then everything is repeated again: a layer of manure, fertilizer and finally, fertile soil. Only after that you can proceed to the ultimate tillage of the soil. This is done so that the roots are not injured at the further shrinkage of the soil.
Now, in the midst of the pits, you can pour a holmik from the ground and pour all the 3 liters of water. If you live in a arid area, it is necessary to pour more water - about 2 buckets. The amount of water depends on the state of the soil.
How to plant grapes - seedlings
This is the most responsible moment - we plant grapes. The roots of grapes must beat in the clay "Boltushka". The seedling is put on the bottom of the pits and is satisted by a 10 centimeter layer of land. When landing, it is important to straighten the roots and lay the saplings by the kidneys to the north.
The roots of your grapes will be approximately at a depth of 40 centimeters. This is quite enough to reliably protect the seedling from freezing.
Please note that grapes are recommended for the night, through the drainage hole. Many daches begin to water the grapes only after the sipped leaves will notice.
If your chernozem is too fat, it is necessary to dilute it with sand in the ratio of 1: 1. Gardeners are recommended not to water freshly resistant grapes so that the root system is not started.
How to plant grapes - protective measures
Protect the grape seedling from overheating and frosts will help the tarpaulin or black garden film. It needs to cover the grape well, cutting the hole for the drainage pipe and seedlings. Film from above is fixed by stones. While the seedlock does not fit, it dresses a cropped plastic bottle.
We hope we were able to give a detailed answer to the question of how to put the grapes. We wish you a light fit and sweet berries.
