Organic grapes

So we keep adding more grapes each year, we have a about 300 in the ground now.  I had intended to do them no spray but the upkeep is just too much so I broke down and burned down the grass under them with glyphosate this morning.  I did not really want to do this but the up keep was just killing me.  Mowing between rows is not to bad but running a weed eater around all the grapes is a major pain in the butt.  I find I am using more and more 2,4 D ad gluphosate.  I just saves so much time that I have less and less of.  I love my Kubota B6100 for work around the grapes.  It is only about 4.5ft wide so it fits down the 8 foot rows with ease.  The 60 gallon sprayer works just fine on it, the front end gets pretty light with the sprayer above about 45 gallons but hey that's what differential brakes are for.  Technorati Tags:
