We talk about vine spacing. This is something I thought about a lot before we got ready to plant the vineyard. I go over the good the bad and the normal. So buckle up while I answer how much space vines need to thrive.

I appreciate the fact that you presented your information in a concise way and you gave the pros and cons of doing things differently if our situation may be different. You gave us options but you spelled out the problems we might run into if we don't give enough spacing. Thank you for this. Also, your vineyard is beautiful. I wish I had this much space. But, I have room for one row about 80 feet long. I think that should product a lot of grapes for one family. God bless, Miles

Nice vineyard. You must be very proud of it. I have a one row vineyard and it is my 'baby' at 4 years it has just begun to produce heavy. I will be putting in a 2nd row this year, That's what brought me here. Spacing. Good info and video! Thank you!

Thanks. It is very rewarding being able to harvest the grapes. 4 years, you must be a pro at growing in your area.

I totally agree on spacing and work load

I agree with you about the spacing, I’ve always thought there should be plenty of room between the rows to get your equipment you’ll be using down between the rows. Interesting how many I have seen where the had their rows pretty tight together though. Hopefully they didn’t regret that later on?

I do know gardening, but I know nothing about grapes. So, I went and bought nine, 2-year-old grapevines, most of which are muscadines. I definitely bought too many vines, because I only have enough space on my property to fit those plants into a 52 ft straight line trellis. With my freshly dug holes, I'll have a grape planting every 4 ft 7 1/2 in, roughly. I don't want to give up any of my plants, so hopefully with extreme pruning and cutting back, I think I should be still be able to make this work. What do you think? This is just a backyard growing operation for a family of 3. Hopefully, even if the "T" only branches out just over 2 ft 3 inches in ea. direction, I'll still get some decent harvests, but again, what are your thoughts? Peace.

@@PureBlood42 lots of vineyards do this spacing all the time. It will work. I hear muscadines are just about indestructible. You should have some success.

@@tempecreekwine - Wow, the ink was still damp on my typed words and you replied! Well, that's great to hear, my friend. Now, I care more about individual fruit size, taste and quality, than I do the notion of growing tons of grapes. So since my fruiting vines will be kept so very short, as to avoid overcrowding and poor airflow, perhaps this will actually be to my advantage in terms of tasty grapes? I know it's not good to have a tangled mess of vines amongst plants, but do you feel it's okay if the production vines from each plant overlap amongst each other, or is there a set rule in place that dictates where the vine of one plant ends on the top wire, the next plant begins? I hope that question makes sense and thank you again for your kindness and sharing your knowledge.

@Alex Hagedorn ~ I ended up with 8 plants in total. I have an upper, middle and lower heavy wire (9 gauge, I think). I trained them so vine #1 makes a T°°°°°° trained to top wire, vine #2 is trained to middle wire and extends underneath vine #1 etc., vine #3 trained to top wire, right down the line, alternating with each vine. I hope that makes sense. With a large scale growing operation, this wouldn't be ideal because middle wire vines could get shaded by top wire vines AND because harvesting the middle wire vines could cause a person's back to get sore. But I think with diligent pruning, I can conquer the shading problem. The plants are still too young to know for sure how this will work out, but so far it's looking promising.

Which direction do you recommend for running your rows? I have grapes now going north to south and they get sun all day long and often get cooked basically from too much hot sun. Yea I know I could put a shade cloth over them if I had to. But in my thinking process I would think running the rows east to west would be better where the sun would be moving down the rows thru the morning to evening. Not to mention the way my property laid out the rows would work better going east to west, north to south I have short rows and I think I rather have longer rows?
