growing grapes, the orchard house method
« on: August 06, 2007, 19:54:50 »
anyone tried this
there's an article in kg magazine this month, the orchard house method is a system of growing grapes in a good sized tub, Bob f uses 9inch diameter pots, and moving the vine in and out of a greenhouse or poly according to the time of year. They are usually brought under cover in late winter and put outside after cropping in late autumn
just wondered if anyone has any experience of this method, we want to do at least 4 more varieties next year, this would be ideal  ;D
