How to Grow Grape Vines

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

Let's start by selecting 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 wine or make grape juice. Others are not thinking about those things, but would rather have some delicious consuming grapes. Others still, are not even thinking about grapes but would much like to cover their outdoor patio with some great looking vines. Your function will identify what kind of grape vine to select.

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 suggest that you plant two different sorts of grape vine - one that benefits eating and one that is good for white wine.

Now when you know what you want your grape vines for, it's time to go out and buy some plants. You'll still need to know which plants are suitable for your geographical area and I would recommend that you seek advice from a specialist on this. The easiest thing to do is just to go to one of the neighbors, one that currently has a well growing grape vines, and ask him a couple of questions. In my experience, people are always more than happy to discuss their vines.

Now go and find an excellent site for your vine. The vines will need a great deal of sun and an abundant soil, so select wisely. I would suggest that you develop the support for your vines before you start planting. If you try to do this later, you may harm the plants. There are many different types of support that you can use. To build one of the most standard 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 do not need to do anything at this moment, but you may have to put a couple of nails because wall in the future. So keep that in mind.

Now it's time to put the plants into the ground. And think it or not, that's the simple step. Simply dig a little hole, put the plant in, and tap the dirt around it. Done. You've just ended up being a vine grower.

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