Love to hear any input or see any related links. I am considering a small vineyard with extremely tight row spacing.
Anyone use that little 30 gal sprayer they have on Earthtools? Would a pull behind with a self-contained motor be a better choice?
Anyone know someone who works a small vineyard with two-wheelers?
A friend of mine is a vineyard manager and he says that "no one has ever done that". Funny because I was under the impression that the Italians had most certainly done that and he manages a vineyard owned by an Italian family.....a huge one, but still. You think it could work? Say 2-5 acres. Mainly mowing, plowing and spraying followed by hauling out fruit. They say tight row spacing and keeping vines very small, making up for the vine size and resulting lower yield per plant via the intensity of planting, will produce very sweet grapes.
