How to feed the grapes: the berries will be larger and sweeter

It takes a lot of effort to get a juicy and bountiful harvest of grapes. This is a capricious culture that does not always take root in the beds and requires proper feeding. You need to choose only varieties that are acclimatized in your area. It is better not to combine several varieties of grapes in one garden – tall species will obscure and oppress the undersized ones.

Grapes are prone to numerous diseases, do not tolerate the rainy season and drought, and require timely pruning of branches. What grapes are fed to make them sweet and how to increase the yield – read in the GLOBAL HAPPENINGS material.

How to grow grapes

Seedlings are the easiest and most popular way. You need to choose a strong-looking bush with a well-developed root system. Grapes are planted in autumn, when the temperature drops to + 8- + 10 ° С.

There are varieties that do not take root well with seedlings, so they are bred using layering.

The container method is also sometimes used. Seedlings are grown at home in a special container or pots. It is important to treat the soil with high temperature before planting seedlings, remove all pathogenic microbes and spores.

Basic rules for growing grapes

1. It is necessary to establish a solid foundation on which the vine will form, hold and grow.
2. Weeds should be pulled out regularly, otherwise you can forget about a quality crop.
3. Periodically, grapes are cultivated with special means from parasites and pathogenic spores.
4. Every autumn it is necessary to cut the vine.
5. If the region experiences harsh winters, it is best to cover the roots and vines to protect them from severe frosts.

When and how to feed grapes

It is important not to miss the right moment to fertilize. Processing should begin after the appearance of ovaries.

Mineral top dressing will be effective. Pour 10 liters of water into a large container and add 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska. Stir thoroughly until the fertilizer is completely dissolved. After that, just spray the grape bushes.

Feeding is very simple, but rich in useful elements. The fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are indispensable for growing a quality and generous crop. Experienced gardeners say that the fruits will be larger, juicier and sweeter than usual.

There are other ways to feed grapes. You can, for example, use a mixture of superphosphate, ammonium nitrate, organics and wood ash. Read more about these fertilizers in the material.
