our vineyard

This is a brief overview of how I set up grapevines for maximum grape production. It is a single-wire trellis system, and I've planted 5 varieties of muscadine grapes. These vines are about 10 years old.

[@shimilangagardens]

Looks like a rock solid trellis system ya’ got there.

[@MDSsp251]

What a neat vineyard. An inspiration for setting up vineyards in small spaces. Thanks so much.

[@MrCubansurfer]

Very well explained. Thank you for not making it too conplex and just straight to the point! 🥂🥂🥂

[@Crystallz2]

This video has been my favorite so far! This how I believe that I am going to do my vineyard! I have some grapes growing but I want a mini vineyard and yours looks the best and the most simple to explain! Thanks so much! Gorgeous!

[@BraveUlysses59]

Thanks. I’m just a random guy on the internet who has grown grapes in my backyard for a couple of years and would like to take it up a notch. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

Really nice job on the videos. Thanks for sharing the trellis system. You have a new subscriber from NC.

hey ya'll...that's the way Granpa did his arbors...thank you for making the video brought back memories....

I love you dearest You and your family god bless you 🙏 I love the way you work and help ppl around the world 🌎 ❤

[@jonessjonez]

Awesome tour, thanks for sharing!

[@dc1397]

This was a very informative video. After seeing your rows are 10' apart, i think i am going to go with 12' to 14' apart on the rows. I want the two end rows of my five rows to be set up for the Geneva Double Curtain method. That way i can get my tractor up and down the rows a little more easily. I really like how you did the end posts.

[@fishmut]

Nice job , I love grapes to there something about them that’s addictive, I just love growing grapes , I’m still learning heaps about them and like you can’t live with out them 👍

[@mikecf1]

Beautiful job.

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]

That is a beautiful vineyard. Looks like those vines have been in the ground for a long time!

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Thank you! Feel free to share or link if you please.

[@Jimmy-ul3si]

Well done and informative video. Im going to plant in the spring. Definitely the best video out there.

[@xm222]

Beautiful vineyard, greetings from Poland :)

[@Swansoft-Europe]

usually which kind pruner you use to cut the branches, manual pruner or electric pruner?

[@geaj4214]

I would love to build this but I'm not handy at all. I tried to build a trellis in my garden and the grapes look bad they are growing on a cattle panel but the way you have yours looks very professional nice and clean

[@muhamedfaour3710]

Great video and very nice looking yard

[@sansaviera]

Very nice video, thank you for posting. Enjoy your grapes!

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

How much work do you think it takes annually for a vineyard of your size?

[@jeannemiller306]

very nice setup,,you explained very nicely

[@98Bafana]

Give us a jelly video! Love the setup

[@SniperLogic]

I have an identical muscadine setup with 2 variances. (1) I use a ratchet tightener on the wire between the brace posts, & (2) I didn’t install my end posts at an angle. I saw this video after the install. Everything else is the same. I have thirty four 240’ rows planted in 12/2018. Do you think my setup is sufficient stability-wise? I live in southern Georgia & my region consists mainly of pine forests, helping temper the wind, which is not commonly severe here anyway. My main concern is the ability of the bracing to withstand the weight of a crop. Each row contains 12 vines, with the vines & posts 20ft apart. The non-bracing trellis posts are 4x4s & the trellis wire is ran thru a drilled hole in the post, with rubber tubing liners in each post to minimize rubbing. I also have .75in dripline attached to these posts . Thank you for your input if you happen to see this comment. Your vineyard looks VERY well built & well maintained. Excellent setup, excellent video. Very easy to understand. Subscribed to your channel.

[@r.s.1348]

What did you use to dig the holes? Did you use any concrete for any post? It appears you did not use high tensile wire; reason? From the size of the vines, I would say your effort has paid off. Nice job!

[@brianbarnes9635]

About to put a lot of grapes in.... Going to put steel posts in as I'm a welder. Wanted to see what you thought about the use of concrete for the posts? Love your setup. It's how I envision mine being eventually once it's all done and growing well. It's beautiful. Nice job.

[@Kingramze]

Wow! That is so cool! I never really paid much attention to the construction before, but it's quite clever. If only I had enough land to grow my own. :-)

[@riveralec8838]

i realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?

[@recondowarhawk2938]

Best video, I am about to retire from the Army I have a nice plot and want to start growing my vineyard. We live in Georgia and it has always been my dream. My mother is German and I remember watching my uncles in Germany work their vineyard. Can I email you and show you my progress? I want to get this right the first time.

[@Carperama]

Great video, why do you level the drip line above the mulch instead of under the mulch?

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

[@gregbrooks9546]

What are the 5 types of muscadine grapes you are growing and where did you buy them. I am wanting to start a set the coming spring.

[@oscarcaballero8692]

Thanks for the great info appreciate it

[@mikenolzeynolan4635]

Great video bud 👍🏻

[@garyschmelzer]

Two questions for you I want to make juice how do you extract the juice from the muscadine. I have a 20 foot 2 year muscadine do they produce more every year

[@simplyimpish1055]

Wow, that is some grape farm!

[@JesseKlaus]

I'm curious what made you choose this trellis design over the 4arm kniffin or any of the others. I'm a newbie and am planning to build a backyard vineyard soon.

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Jesse Klaus for these grape varieties, there's no difference in yield between designs. I went to wineries and the Clemson University demonstration vineyard and saw it in person.

[@maximpetrov7339]

I can across a good compilation of videos that will help on Grape Grower Folio

[@rebeccaehrick971]

I am getting ready to rehab some old (and sad) vines that were neglected on my property before we bought it, and plan to use your design. Do you only have the ratchet on one end of the set up, or both ends? Common sense tells me just one side, but wanted to verify what you did here

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Rebecca Ehrick just one end. You can be aggressive and prune right back, but leave a few buds or about 6 inches off the wire. It'll "bleed" a lot of sap but trust me, these vines are crazy resilient. Keep me posted! Winter is the best time to prune.

[@RajaGaming002]

I want to grow some muscadines grape. I live in Mississippi. Right now I’m building the trillis. Any help or details about planting them? Thank

[@bretturner3413]

Very nice.

[@julianachandler2975]

Fabulous

[@Sonia-hw3yx]

How often do you water them if at all ??

[@Crystallz2]

Oh yes! I live in humid Tennessee! Which grapes do you think our best grown in this heat & humidity?

[@demetriuspowell29]

Concord or muscadines

[@seanbailey8545]

Look around what local wineries or other hobby growers are growing near you.

[@gregbrooks9546]

Did you make your horizontal post on your end post 6" as well like you did your vertical ones or is it 4"

[@dominicbellis3185]

Are your grapes still doing good?

[@dgsantafedave1]

How do you keep the birds away from your grapes?

[@leontaylor3572]

what is the line at the bottom for? the line that runs the length of the trellis? Thank you, they are impressive!

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Its a drip irrigation line but I haven't used it in years

[@Amysmith347]

What kind of fertilizer did you use for them when first starting out?

[@gregpryorhomestead]

10-10-10 once a month in the summer. A quarter or half cup each time in a big ring around the base of the trunk. No fertilizer since year 2.

[@mandykal]

Can u explain your irrigation system thx

[@nedflanders5629]

are treated posts safe for edible crops? I heard its not

[@micahramsay8890]

Nice.

[@aeonmike]

Beautiful! If you swap the turf for clover you wouldn’t have to fertilize

[@gregbrooks9546]

I know there must be a good reason you laid the wire on the top of the post instead of drilling a hole thru the post and simply running the wire thru the hole to support the wire from sagging. Please help just getting started.

[@a.n.gsportsfishingtv1831]

Great video!...... did you by chance cement any of your post?..... if so which ones

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Meko Meko cement?

[@a.n.gsportsfishingtv1831]

gregpryorhomestead ..... yes sir thank you for responding just wanted to know did you back fill the post with the existing soil and dirt or did you add in concrete to each whole per post

[@a.n.gsportsfishingtv1831]

*hole per post.......lol....

[@CenPapi]

Meko Meko I don't think you cement(concrete) any of the posts which is why you use treated wood or cedar, it would make it much more difficult to replace them if they were damaged or too weathered.

[@motog4-75]

[@neal0071234able]

I have 3 Carlos bronze and 3 noble red to plant ..can you plant both on same trellis line

[@gregpryorhomestead]

Yes sir! No problem

[@neal0071234able]

If your trellis is just 20 feet length with 2 posts at each end.. Would 9 gauge wire held with staple nails work ?

[@gregpryorhomestead]

I think so. The hammer-in fence staples with barbed shanks.
