Hey!
A while back I "dressed my pond..."
And now you clothed your terrace!
Amazing what we can learn to do here at TBN /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Hi All,
Just ordered 1,450 Cab Franc #1 on 101-14 for planting this spring. We also bought from Sunridge nurseries in CA. They came highly recomended by our consultant and several other vineyards here in the know.
First 2 acres of ground is prepped and will begin setting end posts for Scott-Henry trellis system later this month. Still haven't decided on whether we'll use metal or wood posts. The wood ones look nicer (more rustic), but the metal ones cost about the same, are much easier (less labor) to install etc...
Attended new growers seminar at VA Tech in Winchester recently. Very informative course hosted by Dr. Tony Wolf who is an expert in NOVA.

But you have the post hole digger so you would forget the labor soon but the look is forever.
I think I will be using a modified scott henry also. My rows are 8' apart and I will be planting close - 24-30 inches apart.
I wont be putting post in for a little while. I need to surround the whole thing with a fence to keep the deer out - maybe incorporate the fence with the posts. But I want to avoid a tall wall effect as I drive up the driveway.

First thing we did this summer was put up Six foot, Six wire energized HT exclusion fence. Gave me real practice using the new phd (86 12x36" holes !). the HT wire is almost invisible so shouldn't deter from the vineyard look. I think we tend to agree with your take on the look vs. labor thing. Actually, with the soil prep pretty much complete, drilling holes in the prepped soil will be much easier than the original stuff.
