My Backyard Vineyard: Season 3: Episode 5: Leaf Pull and Tip Pruning

[@rezatorabi7158]

Hello Dr. Cramer. I love your videos and have been watching all of them, plant physiology and nutrition. Although I'm a physician, I love plants and gardening so I have been self educating myself at least 10 years specially in plant Nutrition. I noticed your vines had N deficiency in soil and petiol analysis and from your recent video they still seem to have general leaf chlorosis. Do you recommend using a chlorophyll meter or not? Thank you once again. Looking forward to watching your next videos ! Take care. God bless.

You are correct, and that is very observant of you. Some of my vines are having other nutrient deficiencies, which I will go into in more detail in future videos. Besides the documented B and Fe deficiencies, I have problems with Mg as well. My backyard soil seems to be very poor but I am confidant I can get a handle on it with good management practices.

Did you have any issues this season already? Hope no, as vineyard looks amazing! Keep going. And thanks again for nice teaching!

Oh, yes, more to come!

Thanks for your videos, I’m in Houston working on my backyard trellis, first year. I’m curious what the plan is for holding up your grapes once they start growing. Do you expect to have a wire system between posts? I guess I’m just using to seeing a trellis post-wire system. Thank you again for your videos and I’m subscribed!

My head-trained system is an old system that predates trellis systems. I am preparing a future video on trellis systems. I am glad you are finding the videos useful!
