Wiz, Ive been useing the spider growth patern and burying muchearlier and shallower then in the past also tendrils are only culled when they open up. I'm making a better attempt to use myco around the entire vine area as well as as areas where any roots will come in contact with. Also I'm gonna stay away from Roundup and such. This year I really concentrated on my soil biology and plant health. No heavy fertilizers on the leaves just as a drench and plenty of kelp...lotta kelp.....

This year I decided to let the rye grow and grow and grow until it has to go, and this strategy will definitely save my season, because there´s still something growing on my patch. Awfully cold and wet year this year hereabouts, rye seems to love it.

I spent more time on my soil. Since it's only my second year I figure it will take me at least ten or more years to get it right.

Hey WiZZY, Good Post,I have introduced the borax early on via what my soil test recommended and yes the calcium will accompany it along with make better assurances my plants don't dry out ...EVER!!! I am planting Mustard for cover crop next go around, all via the DVD. I've also introduced a 28' x 36' screen house dedicated to one Plant to try and grow thee entire season with spraying at least one plant,lol.

I did the cover crop with red wheat just cause it was accessible.I also used ground cables and drilled holes to make sure it didnt pool water in pit.The non pit/cable plants are way behind the others.I am burying vines much quicker per the masters advice.I did a tissue test for the first time ever.I'm hoping the only thing bigger then my pumpkin this year is my ego!LOL

Really worried about nematodes now. Burying much sooner. Tissue testing. Cover crop for sure next year.

Seriously, folks, I planted a winter rye cover crop with mycorrhizae this spring,and plowed it in with amendments before plants came out of hoops, and plan to plant mustard this fall. I'm also keeping closer tabs on soil nutrients.

Next year I plant to start seeds earlier, and get plants into heated hoop houses earlier.

Tendrils are only culled when they open up?? Why do this? [I obviously don't have the DVD yet]. I always break them off early to avoid problems.

Kenny, why do you remove tendrils only after they are opened up?

I've always been told to remove them early (along with the tertiary and any un-wanted male flowers) cause they are easy to remove and then leave a smaller scar to heal.

I'm really interested if you've heard they are beneficial or the reason for letting them grow.

Thanks/glenn

Actually glen the reason why I decided to do this is to stabalize the growing tips. I also have only pruined every other one to limit the disease preasure the plant receives. In the past I've had issues with diseases in the past and im trying to limit any cgances of loss. I must admit. Ive been babying these plants the entire seasons.

A wicked modified spider pattern with continuous main past fruit. I will reveal to RMGVG in Aug. Also been consulting with Bo at Chlorophyll on 38th Ave regarding organic fertilizers available. Very cool dude and knows a whole lot about feeding plants. Its like Xmas every time I go in that store.

I am better positioned with plant size, fruit set, genetics, soil comp, and growth speed than ever before. I absorbed a bunch of info in Vegas.

This fall, mustard for sure.

Thanks Kenny, I knew there must have been a good reason and that does make good sense.
