Can't wait to see the outcome! Their will be a few growers protecting their vines this season after what Dave did last year!

I'm doing fabric down the main and only cutting holes for the tap roots. Dry main means a happy main! Especially in my disease infested soil.

You are going to have around $10000/plant before pollination even happens! Fun to watch best of luck!

Have you checked to see if it's keeping the soil cooler?

Bury in perlite, then in potting mix? The perlite I get is cheap but it also bothers my lungs. Hopefully this works, fun to try new things!

Thanks Ian. I'm pretty sure perlite increases photosynthesis by 15-20%.

We haven’t thought about checking the temperature Andy but at a guess it’s going to be cooler

It will definitely help with disease for sure
