around the vine up to 3 feet from the stem (depending on the size of the grapevine). Grape roots are fibrous and extensive, growing out shallowly and deeply searching for moisture.Try not to damage the roots as much as possible, loosening the soil between the roots. Prune off any broken root ends.

4. Plant in a suitably prepared hole using the same soil from the hole to carefully cover the spread-out roots. You don’t need to fertilize the planting until the second year.A nice compost mulch on top is fine.

5. Keep the new planting watered about every other day until the ground freezes (fall) or in spring until spring rains take over.

I prefer early spring planting. There is less chance of winter damage (cold drying winds, animal damage, etc.). Planting a young rooted grape cutting or grafted cutting is much easier and usually more successful than transplanting an older vine, but I fully understand the desire to keep a favorite grape variety growing in a new location. You may consider keeping some of the cuttings from the original vine and rooting them as insurance in case the original fails to thrive. Good luck!

How To Involve More Young People In Agriculture

Encourage agriculture-based curriculum. After recognizing that the majority of Kenyan students had no access to farming training and education, the organization Farm Africa initiated a program to make agriculture more accessible to students. Students who participated learned about everything from keeping livestock to marketing produce for global markets. Similar programs can be encouraged in developed countries where opportunities in the field of agriculture figure to increase in the years to come.
