Description

Welcome to the GrowGrapes Group!
If you have little or no experience with grape growing, this is the group for you! Advanced growers are here to help you.

There are only two rules for participating at this group:
1.) People will post with courtesy and kindness.
2.) Advertisements for personal gain must be pre-approved by the group owner.

Violators will be set to moderated status immediately or banned from the group in extreme cases without warning.

Biovam Mycorrhiza is used by many grape growers to start new cuttings. It can boost growth enough to allow you to train your vines a whole year sooner than untreated cuttings. We highly recommend it for organic growers.

Brew up T&J Enterprises Microbe Tea, add Yucca Extract, and spray your grapes down once before bud break. This will protect your plants later when new shoots are growing and late Spring frosts come. This works well for fruit trees also so that late frosts do not bother the blooms. Weekly sprays of this tea will provide nutrients and will make your plants much more resistant to late frosts at the end of the season.

Re: messaging an old vine (s)
My vines have really reacted (positively) to the first dusting (spray) of MegaGro. They are twice the size they were at this point last year. They are

I'm new to the group and new to growing grapes. We just put up an arbor out of cattle panels (more for shade than grapes) and are hoping to get some grapes in
