Gardeners told us what to do with grapes in October

1

The second month of autumn involves working with grapes. It is necessary to have time to do a number of works before the cold weather. First, you need to clean everything around the grapes, and then proceed to the next work.

Watering

Before the winter, the grapes need to be watered so that the plants absorb enough moisture. This is fundamentally important so that the plant can withstand frost and cold without damage. Please note that watering is carried out after the leaves fall and when the temperature drops to 10 degrees Celsius.

Treatment from pests

For grapes in October, you can use iron or copper sulfate. Such treatments will help against powdery mildew. It is necessary to process not only the bushes, but also the soil under them.

Feeding

In October, it is necessary to feed with a solution made from the following components:

• 25 g of potassium sulfate;
• 25 g of superphosphate;
• 10 liters of water.

Protection against frost

After pruning, grapes should be covered when the temperature drops below zero. Especially when it stably stays below 5 degrees of frost. Although this happens more often in November. For this, you can use straw, fallen leaves and other materials.
