My two biggest plants with the 1142 Vankooten in the foreground. This year I am not burying vines quite as much, just taking a little of our own homemade compost and hilling it around the nodes a bit to cover up the emerging taproots. The compost gets some mycorrhizae and rock phosphate mixed into it before application. All my plants have also been getting watered with a seaweed solution once a week - not doing any foliar feeding this year, I'm a little more wary of foliar disease under the row cover due to the decreased air circulation. I'm trying to keep the foliage dry as much as possible.
