Trying a few new things this year. Leaving my temporary hoop house over the core of the plant. I have it up on 3 blocks so the secondary vines can sprawl. Then I am putting pieces of plywood in between the secondary vines, helping in weed control and keeps me from smashing the roots. At least that is the hope. Plant is over 50 feet wide. I finally decided to do tests with western labs. My soil and tissue test came back pretty bad with tons of disease and low in nitrates. I am doing everything to try to remedy the prob. Hopefully I will be able to correct the problem before it is too late. The picture is the Roth side of plant.
