  • Planting a new vineyard from scratch is quite hard work but very rewarding.
    In this video we show you what we did when our new vines arrived (early) and what we did to get them planted in the ground.

    We just wanted to send you a huge thank you for your generous videos on planting a vineyard. On Saturday our small vine friends arrived here in Toscana and we planted 200 vines on solstice coincidently. The night before we stumbled on your fantastic instructions! only thing is we don't have a machine so we had a wonderful workout digging all the holes. Today arms are falling off. Thank you again!

      @@mycountrylife810 we look forward to watching more on your vineyard videos! We hope its going well, and so nice to be on this journey with you! I suspect you will also include the harvesting and making of wine, as soon you will enter this phase. If I understood correctly, your vineyard was planted 2020?. And, when we are all done here (3-4 years time) we will send you a bottle!

    • @mycountrylife810
      @mycountrylife810  Місяць тому

      Hi there. Thank you😁. Our vines come from the growers in Germany via an importer in the uk who handles all the import paperwork for plays into the uk. I know they only deal with the uk though, which doesn't help you in Borneo. If you google vine wholesale growers in Germany into google, you should be able to find the main growers there. They will distribute all over the world I'm sure. A

    • @mycountrylife810
      @mycountrylife810  2 роки тому

      Hi Carolyn. Best time to plant is in the spring time. Ideally we wanted to plant in March just before the buds start showing, but it ended up in late April after bud burst. It didn't affect the success of the plant. Good luck with your vineyard - sounds exciting.

      Hi there, and thank you for visiting our videos. I think you have a couple factors when choosing your vines. Firstly what type of wine you want to produce, eg, red, white, sweet dry, sparkling, rose etc etc. Secondly, what soil type you have, eg, clay, Sandy, chalky, loamy. There a really good resource I have come across that goes into great detail on the various vines and rootstocks to go for - www.winegrowers.info and how to plant a vineyard. Check them out, I have certainly found them helpful. Good luck.....

    Hi. I'm really enjoying the vineyard videos.
    What's the reason for the distance between each vine?
    Why aren't they planted close to each other?

    • @mycountrylife810
      @mycountrylife810  3 роки тому +1

      Amanda Mudau hi there. The only reason for having the vines about 1.5 metres apart is so that they have a enough space so that the grapes can hang down along the trellis wire. The distance allows about 10 bunches to hang either side of the vine. Ideally you don’t want bunches to develop above the trellis line in what becomes the leaf wall because it makes harvesting more difficult and also you want the vine to put all its energy in a select few bunches rather than lots all over the place. Hope this helps.

      @mycountrylife810  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Jak. The graft union is much lower down from the wax. There is a distinction between the graft and the root stock. The wax is there to protect the very young vines from drying out and to protect those initial buds.
