This past season my Concord Grapes were covered with Japanese Beetles. I sprayed them several times, but the next day the beetles were busy eating again, and I finally gave up. I don;t want to eat grapes that have been repeatedly sprayed with insecticide! Is there a solution for next year? Thanks, Ric Hi Danie,

I am located in the upper Ottawa Valley here in Ontario and have been reading and observing for some time. Currently I only have 3 vines plus a huge crop of wild grapes that I have begun to train all around my page wire property fence. I am interested in growing grapes on a much larger scale once I have determine which grape varieties will grow best in our climate here. We also do everything organic. What varieties are you growing?

My soil type is mostly clay too much sand without losts of compost make cement.The problem I'm having is the post rot of within a 2-3 years and I don't care for the steel post. I've set the wood in cement and gravel to allow for drainage. Doesn't help. Can I use treated wood if set many feet from the first and last grape. I'm on crutches and and doing the work myself.I really love doing it. I'm finding difficult to replacing the wood every few years. Steel Is nice but in my garden it cool and out of place, and maybe its just me but the things I plant around steel post. don't do as well. Please, can you offer some advive I'm having to replace 6 post this year. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. Peace to you. Pauline, Calimesa, Ca.

Also effects of over watering,or underwatering. Organic verses non organic. Just a few suggestion as you dont comment much about South Africans on your blog and there must be some of us out there, comparing North and South. Thanks for all I have definately learnt a lot from you. Jo What about pictures to compare different regions and results which we have got from following your blog.
