I was told to use 1 cup of Bone Meal, 1 cup of Lime, and 1 cup of Canning Salt. I was further instructed NOT to mix the 3 but to dig 3 seperate holes surrounding the vine and put the 3 ingredients seperately in the 3 holes. It sounded odd to me, but the Amish do have very good fruits and veggies so I tried it. My new vines have grown at a very good rate and are "running" down the trellis I built for them. The recipe could likely be mixed and used in a smaller quantity if growing in pots. Hello Danie,

On your drawings, I'm guessing that the green dots are the BUDS that will grow into spurs & these will grow HOW LONG ?? Then, the following winter, I cut these spurs back to HOW LONG ?? 8 or 10 inches ?? These should then put on grapes or just MORE spurs ?? Do I keep cutting these back every year ?? We watched your 2 videos about putting buds on old root-stock. We really enjoyed that. It lost me in spots. But I really got lost when they showed the grapevine, all pruned to literally nothing. It looked totally NAKED. Is this what my vines are suppose to look like every year after my winter pruning ?? If it is..... WOW !! I'm totally lost after that. We really enjoy reading your newsletters. My friend & I are retired & we share your book with 2 other people. But being old, we are pretty slow at understanding thing, so please bare with us when we ask stupid questions. And thank you for understanding.

I feel for Norm in SD. The weather in Arizona this year has turned very hot and humid where I live. I have 3 Zinfandel vines I wanted to plant this season, but did not get the ground ready in time, so they are in pots in the greenhouse, and have some clusters, under the cooling unit! Say, I forgot how to access my online copy of Complete Grape Growing System, can you remind me how to get back to it! Thanks for the pot suggestions. I feel for Norm in SD.

Before I find your advises to how to plant the grapes and in what intervals, I purchased 10 Swenson Red bare foot grapes from Cornhill Nursary located in New Brunswick ,Canada,( I live in Toronto) and in my backyard I have planted them as two per line( according to me available space) at a interval of 7 feet between the plants. But unfourtunately the intervals between the rows I have only 3 1/2 feet. Now my question is can I leave it as it is or should I need to relocate the 2nd and the 4th lines so that the interval between the 1st, 3ed and the 5th lines will be 7 feet? Next question is I planted them by the beginning of May and it is almost 75 days gone and the plants are grawing good. Is it ok to remove them very carefully and relocate or will it damage the plants? Thanks Danie for your time and enjoy your life time as a helping person. God bless you, your family and your farm.
