We are growing grass between the rows and Dutch white clover between the plants. This helps to reduce the heat, choke out weeds and add nitrogen back into the soil.<\/p><p>It also rebuilds the profile by increasing worms, smaller ground insects, good bacteria, and humus.<\/p><p>We produce compost and use it around the plants in the spring. The stems and what is left after pressing the grapes, is added to the compost along with other yard and garden waste.<\/p><p>This further builds up the soil

to control them.\u00a0 We only use herbicides around the perimeter.\u00a0 We do however use a fungicide during the early and mid-growing season due to our humid summers.<\/p><p>We do not spray for insects.\u00a0 We encourage birds and good insects to do that for us.\u00a0 We have a variety of birds that include starlings, wrens, orioles and others.\u00a0 Our favorite insect is the lady bug. But this also creates a problem when the grapes are ripe. Robins, flickers, and, to a lesser extent, orchard orioles are our biggest competitors. So, we use bird netting and add it when we see the first grape turn color. The Sphinx moth caterpillars will get their share of leaves before the birds find them but eventually, they do find them.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column
