Monday evening I did a little hoeing in the patch. I had some micorhizzae capsules, so I tossed them on the exposed roots under the leaves and covered them with a bit of soil. I hope that helps. I sprayed the stumps and any suspicious leaves with Daconil. I dusted the plants with a mix of Sevin and Eight. I want to get anything bad that my be crawling around there.

Tuesday evening I did a little tilling to stay ahead of the plants. I don't till close to the plants to avoid any root damage. Close to the plants I use the hoe. I did a little vine training, and removed some females from secondaries. I terminated a couple of tertiary vines. I am letting some tertiary vines go a little way behind the back secondary to fill in the patch. They will get terminated at about 3'. I am allowing about 800 sq. ft. per plant of growing space.
