Grape questions

18 years ago

I've just pruned most of my grapes. I've read somewhere that a pruned vine can actually be made to root. A friend might want some and I thought I'd try. Anyone ever pulled that off and have some suggestions? Maybe all wrong for time of year and blah blah blah, but I'm gonna try anyway. Alternative is give em to the binmen.

Second question. Protecting grapes from birds. Netting isn't gonna be practical where I have mine growing. I've read about covering the bunches with individual bags to protect them. I've also seen a photo online of a vinyard doing just that, and had all uniform, white, almost paper looking bags over the bunches. Leads me to believe that there must be a place to buy some bags, special made for just that purpose. Anyone know of a place?

I know, not really related questions but I didn't want to suck up two threads for em.

Thanks,

dave
