One thing that we learned is that it takes a long time to install the trellising system. Another thing that we learned is our trellis system is especially critical because our tall grafted vines grow quickly and need support shortly after they are planted. This is the breakdown of what we did and how long it took us (us = two people, a tractor and a trailer). A generous loan of the post pounder and the auger from the Holmbergs, facilitated the installation of our black locusts endposts and the timely help of our friends all contributed to getting this job done.
