Here is the makeshift cover that took me about 10 minutes to construct with a skil-saw, 2X4's, a couple of nails, and some 6 mil plastic. I wanted to use plastic so the sun could get through and shine down on the rot to dry it. However, I am not sure if the vine will sweat under the plastic at night--if it does, I will only cover it during the watering period in the afternoon, and then uncover it during the rest of the day and night. I think I can recover fromt his rot--these vines scab up huge. Around the stump I had some rot and I just rubbed it good with sulphur powder and it seems to have ceased as far as I can tell. I just squish out the "gucky part" of the rot with my fingers. I figure the less you cut off the better--let the plant heal itself by keeping it dry. We'll see if my theory works.
