Hi Paul, Yes, I've heard that, too. I wish I could find my notes from the NCWA presentation from February 2003, where it was discussed a bit. I think the...
ET.AL. I just discovered that perithium (sP) has been approved for use on grapes as a pesticide under the name Perith-it. It has been used for some time on...
Paul, I can't give you any information on the brix, but our former state enologists, Steve Mehnke, now in PA looked at some vines in a backyard vineyard in...
I am trying to find some information on sap flow sensors, if anyone has used them or knows someone that has used them. I am trying to come up with some new ET...

There seems to be a number of different sizes of earth anchors available. My rows will be 100-130' long. Is there a usual size? Carl Carl Camper Chateau...
Up here in NH you need to get below the frost line, Mine are 3' for 250' rows. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what...
Carl, There are two variables, shaft length and helix diameter. Of the two, helix diameter is the most important. I recommend a shaft of 36-40" no matter what...
I'm not sure, depending on your soil conditions, that you'll need anchors. We had 200' rows at my last vineyard. No anchors. We had our posts down 4' and after...
Hi Steve, I don't know where in NH your at, but as I recall the screw anchors we used at Mayhill were about 2 feet long and we used the post hole digger with a...
I have a micro vineyard in Houston area (TX)... I started using Volk's dormant oil once in late winter and plan to spray Neem oil for live insects every 3...
Chris, I dont get it, let the insects be, here they just flat out dont hurt anything and I have never and WILL never start an insecticide program, heck those...
By not using general insecticides, your predator population has remained established and in control for the most part. For people trying to make the transition...
You should probably spray lime sulfur about 2 weeks before dormant oil. It is the best and only thing for anthracnose. Dormant oil is most effective on scale...
I have a lot of white oak trees and think it will be cost effective to cut my end posts and have them debarked at a sawmill. Has anyone done this and, if so,...
Bad idea. If you don't have locust then get 5-6" round, 8' tall pressure treated posts. If your rows are very long you may want a larger diameter post. I set...
Your white oak will have to be seasoned as well before it is treated. Above ground, it is very rot resistant. Below ground, there are no guarantees. Things...
Mulberry works???? Excellent - I've got some huge mulberries just aching for some pruning... I guess charring the buried end is standard practice? Cheers, Mike...

Thanks Mark. I was mostly curious about the methods used to increase berry size in table grapes. I had a stray thought about treating riparia vines that way to...
Thanks to everyone for your responses. Before I retired, we had a saying that whatever cost the most and took the most work would turn out to be the answer. I...
I have been wondering if it where posible to use living pillar populus as post in-between. It will give some extra work with keep the tree cut. But beside...

Poisons are not reccomended as they are random in their effect. Any animal can get them! Traps are good. What is suprisingly effective is a pet ferret!Take...
