Consult "Rodale's All-New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening", everything you need to know is there. Any serious gardener or plant worker should have this book. Of course I understand that reading books is taboo today, but they are still handy to have around.
Reply:it's best to buy a grape vine from a good reliable garden store. That way, it's already off to a good start, and you can be sure of the type / varietal you are getting. Also, word of caution, many broadleaf control herbicides are very damaging to grape vines, in particular one called 24D....if you are planting in a residential area, make sure your neighbors are not using 24D as even the overspray can kill grapes. good luck
Reply:You may have better luck starting with a plant; it will give it a better start. Check out WalMart even; they have them out now and are not really expensive. They tend to be hardier and more disease resistant. Give them sun and thorough watering and you shoiud have grapes in 2-3 years.
Reply:I don't know what part of the country you in, but start now..and use a Laddis for the vine to grow on......



Grapes like the sun and not much shade...
Reply:You are much better off starting with a bare root plant. Do a bit of research about what type of grapes do well in your area, there are plenty of websites that will assist you. Do you want them to be table grapes or wine grapes? The only other thing you need is something for them to grow on. Two poles with two pieces of whatever material you choose, one at the top and one in the middle, to support the plant. Grapes can get heavy, so a little piece of string will not do the job. I have seen some pretty elaborate devices for grape vines, and some very simple, so you have a wide range to choose from. They also need to be cut back a bit after they are done in the fall, once you have chosen the variety (varieties?) you want to go with, learn what that particular varieties needs are as far a water, soil and cutting back.
Reply:you can not plant grapes from seeds. you need a vine cutting. it has to be alive. it is trail and error. you have to put it in some water and see if it grows a root, if it doesn't you can buy a chemical that helps cuttings root, you can get it at lowes. if that doesn't work, then the cutting was dead, and you need a newer cutting. if you have one rooted plant it in part shade part sunny area with a lattace on top at about 5-7ft.
Reply:plant grapevines from the root cuttings. you can get these at most plant stores ,use root stimulator when planting. they need something to climb and full sun.
