Question: Fertigation, I want to add 20-20-20 to the drip, in my estimation it would be 5lbs/gal. or liter, 30 min drip. would this be correct? Or are there some common formula's for multiple applications? TKS Again always looking forward to your next report. Cameron Goodday, Absolutely Love the info you provide TKS,

I have treated every week with fungicide the product you mentioned in the study, also Sevin and Sulphur. Just let it go and keep treating? It is hard to keep battling. I will wait your reply. Thanks!

It is flowering so I cannot remove leaves at this time. The leaves are not showing of yellowing. The blotches starts in the middle of the leaves. Please advise if what prevention I can do. I know this are not disease but probably on PH. The other vine are doing good. Regards, Grace Hi Danie,

Yes, the symptoms are almost the same, with only one diffenrence: Iron (Fe) defesioncy normally goes hand in hand with HIGH pH soils where lots of free lime, tends to bind bicarbonates - especially in wet soil conditions. I'm not sure if Mg spray will increase the sugar content of grapes - although I doubt it Hi Fritz,

As Fritz said, I'm only one guy and I really try hard to get to everyone's emails. Can you even imagine how many emails I get in one week? My Grape Vine has more than 13 000 subscribers! I will find your mail and reply to it soon Well Morris, what more can I say than I’m sorry for not replying sooner!?

The fixed price is US$47.95 however. Gloria,

I suppose your soil is too compact if you refer to amelioration. Adding organic material to the soil will improve the structure of the soil and will promote more the microbe count. 2. Normally, if you grow grapes for home use, a well balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer, 3 times a year (start of spring, after fruit-set and post harvest), that many people use for their gardens, will be enough for your grape vine. Remember Aileen, unlike bananas and pears, grapes will not ripen after picking the fruit. You have to wait until the desired sugar levels before picking.
