Grapes - one of the most beautiful plants. Some use it as a decoration or suburban infield others due to its delicious fruits. It is no secret that in addition to the sweet compote can be made sweet, semi-sweet or dry wine, depending on the variety. Grape leaves are useful for cooking kebabs or zakatok. In general, hard to describe all the advantages of this plant as a whole.
But in order to enjoy all of its bonuses, first you need to properly put this beautiful shrub. First you need to get healthy and high-quality seedling, as well as to select and prepare a place for its planting. It is also very important to determine in due course of the year.
grape planting time in the spring
The time depends on where you live. After the thermometer should not be below 15 degrees, and the soil temperature is less than + 10. Roughly in the southern part of it could be mid-April, in the middle lane - mid-May, in the north still have to wait until the beginning of June.
Also, use the calendar favorable planting days in these months.
How to choose a seedling?
There are two types of seedlings: vegetative (green) and odrevenevshy (yearling bush). Naturally, the year-old bush better get accustomed.
The main criteria on which will select: should be developed root system (3-6 young roots) the stalk must be present young shoots (40-55sm), and the trunk and the roots and buds should be without damage.
The choice of location: It is forbidden to plant grapes in swampy areas, not the north side, open country with strong winds (especially northern), are not appropriate places in permanent shadow, finding a number of fruit crops (at least 4-5 meters away from bush).
The important role played by the soil when planting - it must be fertile.
We dig a hole in the shape of a cube with sides of 80 centimeters. At the bottom of the well must build drainage layer. They can serve as gravel, concrete block, brick chips. Further preparing fertilizer: mix soil from the top layer with two buckets compost, add 500g. superphosphate and a kilogram of wood ash. Put the prepared mixture into a pit and covered with fertile soil.
If dug earth has enough similarities with fertile, in any case, do not fall asleep it back into the pit. This can badly affect the
growth of seedlings. Leave for 2 weeks in order to give the soil shrinkage. If you just plant a bush, the land can break young roots shrinkage.
Fathoms, too, can be further processed. Put it in cold water for about a day, optionally adding a drug to the growth of roots. Remove the roots in the upper part of seedlings, crop shoots.
By lapse of time your pit "matured". Pour into it a handful of fertile land, on top put a sapling, straightening his roots, fall asleep the pit with soil, pour in three buckets of water, then cover with a sapling with a plastic bottle.
Wait until the plant will get stronger!
