It is better to plant grapes in spring, about half a month before most crops sprout, which is probably in March-April, and some are planted in September-October.

Grape planting methods and key points

1. Soil

Grapes prefer sandy loam with good ventilation, so soil selection is very important. The organic matter content must be above 2%, which can help increase grape yield and improve quality.

2. Planting

Grapes are generally planted in autumn, with a distance of 2-3 meters between each plant. Before planting, cut the roots of the seedlings into about 20 cm and soak them for a whole day. When planting, stretch the roots and then cover them with soil. After planting, water them thoroughly. It is best to cover them with a layer of plastic film. When planting, do not rush to apply fertilizer directly, otherwise there will be a risk of burning the roots.

Grape planting precautions

Usually the first application of fertilizer is when sowing seedlings, and the second application is during the grape fruiting period. At this time, phosphorus fertilizer and other trace element fertilizers are applied. It usually takes about three times between the beginning of grape budding and flowering. It should be noted that the number of waterings should be reduced during the flowering period, and the watering time should be changed according to the rainfall conditions at the time during the fruiting period.
