grapes Growing grapes on an industrial scale is one thing. Another option - on their own, at their summer cottage, or in the yard of their house to do what they love. However, for the cultivation and development of culture it is necessary to create certain conditions. We are talking about the basis on which the vine will curl - the trellis.
Types of structures
Today you can purchase almost any structure. But to know for what and how to make a trellis for grapes with their own hands at the dacha, every connoisseur of emerald grapes should know. Let's first understand the types of structures and materials, as well as technologies. Then proceed directly to the manufacturing process.
Design types:
- straight column construction;
- semi-arch canopy;
- arched design.
Straight column design
A simple view of the trellis. In short, it is a small number of pillars, between which several rows of fishing line, wire or cable are stretched. This is a simple, primitive version of the maintenance of the vine and its development. Support columns are buried in the ground. For strength, you can use their concreting. The gardeners choose different distances between the pillars, but experts and experienced gardeners recommend 2.5 meters. The first row of wire is stretched below, and the next with a gap of half a meter or 40 cm. The design is of two types:
- Single.
- Double.
Any material is suitable for single or double construction. But knowledgeable people advise for a single structure to use all the same( if possible) metal support with reinforcement with concrete or without it, as shown in the photo.
The diameter of the pipes for the support, as practice shows, can be 32 - 57 mm. This is the best option. It is advisable to install square pipes. They will be cheaper. For fixing used welding or corner with screws for metal. Now about the height, which is important. For the construction in question, the optimum height will be up to 2.2 meters from the ground.
There is an opinion that the higher the trellis, the larger the bunch. This is a misconception. In addition, care at height is difficult. Do not do without stepladders.
Optimum depth for supports.
. Vertical support for grapes is placed in the ground at 500 - 600 mm. This is the minimum entry. A 60/600 mm hole with a depth of 800 mm is prepared. The recess is performed by a traditional tool - a spade or a drill. You should get a deepening of the inverse trapezoid shape.
Do not forget to install sand and a thin layer of rubble into the finished deepening before installing the support!
Such a thorough approach can save you a lot of money in the future. Do not bring joy remake design in five years. After all, grapes can sprout in one place for 50 years, remember this!
Double Design
For those who have a land plot that allows them to grow grapes in large volumes, we recommend using the two-way trellis version. This is a vertically dug into the ground at a small distance identical supports or a two-pillar design in the shape of a letter V. Thanks to the two-lane trellis, it becomes possible to loosen the vine grapes, which significantly increases the yield. Tapestry, for grapes, the photo of which, you see - this is a double construction.
Design feature. More space needed. It is impossible to grow other crops in the aisle. The principle of work is similar to the previous one. Therefore, to dwell on the issues of depth and height does not make sense. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the distance between the rows. It directly affects the formation of vine grapes!
It is used for single-row planting of grapes in the yard for arranging a recreation area near the house. The windows of the house close at the same time from the scorching rays of the sun, but the view remains free. At the top, the installation of a plastic cover to protect against rain is preferred. Arched version
In a large, spacious courtyard, installing an arched canopy is preferable. This is a two-row planting of grapes or a combined version of fruit bushes with decorative vines. The owner of the estate has the ability to simultaneously provide the family with delicious berries and create an unusual flowering paradise.
But there is one drawback. As in the semi-arch variant, when using an arched structure, the recommended height from the ground should be 3.2 meters. This makes it difficult to care for the upper part. It is necessary to use stepladders. But in the shade, you can put a table for rest or hide the car from ultraviolet sunlight. Also arched version carries a decorative function, which is closely associated with landscape design. The arched structure is inherently a shed for grapes, climbing roses, clematis and other vines
. How to tie grapes to the trellis?
A competent garter to the trellis is the same developmental path for all kidneys. From this operation depends on the further development of the vine, and, consequently, the harvest. How to tie grapes? Last year's vines, which bear fruit, tied up on the front row. Garter is allowed on the second row( partially).
Perhaps placing the vine in two directions:
- In the horizontal.
- Inclined.
In case of vertical tie, it is not recommended to tie a vine with kidneys. Since there is an intensive growth of only the upper ocelli, which will inevitably lead to a slowdown in the development of the lower ocelli, if at all they may not wake up. Naturally, the yield in this case falls.
When tying a vine in an inclined position, the angle should be 45.
It is necessary to secure the vine firmly, but not to damage it. Special clips are used for this, but many gardeners traditionally use wire or small pieces of cloth, as shown in the photo.
Viticulture is addictive. Every year new information appears, advanced varieties are offered that I want to plant on my site. But the foundation remains the same - it is a tapestry, as the initial path of development of the vine! It should not only be strong and reliable, but also look beautiful and neat.
