Videos: Countdown to the Final Vine

This past Wednesday, May 18th was a truly auspicious day. It was the culmination of 6 days of planting 4200 vines and you can be sure that we captured the moment in some videos. This video is a demonstration on how we planted our vines.

• The holes were dug with a dingo that we rented for approximately 2 weeks.
• After the hole was dug, we put in the pencil rod which was attached to the fruiting wire as a guide to where the vine should be planted.
• When it came to planting the vine, my husband made 8 tampeners that you can see in this upcoming video. The tampeners helped in gently getting the soil around the roots of the vine in the hole which in some cases were about 18 inches deep.
• You can see that the video is about a minute long so it did take approximately that amount of time to plant each vine.

Our friend, the lineman took a video of the last vine being planted. I called it our "golden spike vine" and my husband got to do the honors.

We've said it before in previous blogposts, but our friends were just amazing!
