Yesterday we added chicken manure to every vine.

Outside of spraying an Organic Sulfur compound for powdery mildew, this all I add to the vineyard.

My dad drives the tractor while I shovel.

Have you considered running some lambies through there instead of the chicken manure?

I know ideally when people do that they setup their vineyard differently, but it still works on standard ones

We usually have too many vines that were training up yearly to put animals in

Good work guys, the wine is excellent. Need to stock up soon.

Lmk when you need recs

Your dad is living the dream. 🚁😁

💯

That's what it was! Tasted some blackberry, currant, a bit of oak, and chicken manure!

You've got great taste

That’s real proof that good wine starts with hard work and family.

It's true

I have had luck using milk against powdery mildew. i let some sit overnight & sour, add equal amount of filtered or pond water . I spray on the leaves & soak the soil around the "infected" plant. takes a few applications. then again occasionally prophylacticly.

Where do you source 100 gals of milk?

Proof of dirt 🫡

Well, never done that, but in my home country Moldova - we have pretty good wine as well, in every village people do wine at home, and the grapes grow without fertilisers (natural / chemical). I hope you have a good harvest

You're saying no one does anything to their soil?

To the soil itself - usually not; Moldova is located on the chernozem belt of Europe:

Makes sense now

My lemons are insane this year. 10x stronger smelling than store bought. And crazy juicy. I used blood meal and some generic organic fertilizer quarterly.

Whoa, I read wine instead of vine 🫣

🤣
