Definite setback has arisen. I would appreciate any advice over email. I came home today to see the main vine laying nice and low. I was excited as I figured it had finally settled the way I wanted it to. On closer inspection I noticed a small kink further up the vine. As I made my way down the length of the main vine I was horrified to notice a decent sized tear that ran the length of the vine by a leaf node for about 2.5 inches. The tear is definitely deep enough that you can see the cavity. In fact the cavity tear is wide enough that you could insert the end of a rolled up 5 dollar bill into it! To make matters worse further down the vine there is a horizontal tear by a leaf node--this one is only on the surface (about .5 inches long) and does not penetrate too deep.
Should I cover the cavity tear with soil? should I keep it dry?
Any advice would be much appreciated please email if you have had a similar experience or have advice.
