- Pruning mature vines ready for winter is an essential albeit rather laborious task. I'm sure that there are better techniques but this video shows how I go about it. Hopefully it will all be done soon.

Wow I have been watching the videos when you started the vine yard . This is awesome . Next year am starting also to plant about 6hectors
Hi there. Thank you for your kind comment. All the best for your vineyard - sounds very exciting.
Just to say... watching your endeavours encourages me to have my own.
Im watching your vineyard series with expectation each time for the next.
Cheers 🇬🇧
That's very kind of you. I must admit that now winter is upon us, I am wondering what I can make the next video of.
@mycountrylife810 That's easy!
You film yourself helping someone else set up THEIR vineyard! 😂
Or... and... you film yourself (with your better half if you must) as you go on a trip to France and see how they "close" for winter...
Or... and ... you interview others. Showcasing their endeavours in their vineyard, concentrating on the worst case scenario but turned to success.
Lol. Just ideas. What I truly want is to see you happy over Christmas and the new year, and I wish you a better year ahead.
Cheers 🇬🇧 🍻
Love the speeded up film and the Vivaldi. And keep the fingers!
Thank you. I thought we needed a bit of culture. Still got my fingers!!
That tool looks like it could chop through anything.

Yes, it is quite a machine. I treat it with a lot of respect.
Great videos, thanks for sharing. What garden/compact tractor are you using there?
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. We use an old Kubota B1750 compact tractor which I got off ebay a few years ago.
I'm curious, it seems like it's a bit early to prune? Normally it would be done as winter is ending just before they come out of dormancy. Isn't it going to hurt them to prune now before the frost?
Hi there. I think it depends on the variety. The Orion vines look like they won't be ready to prune until about January. The Bacchus and Rondos went dormant much earlier. You are right though, later the better but I really don't fancy pruning in the depths of winter. We rarely get very cold winters though, so I think we should be ok. We will see how we get on.
Also, why was there a can of diesel in the proximity of your fire? 😉
Ar, you got me John. I like a bit of danger in my life!!
I'm wondering - considering the vineyard's performance this year have you considered pruning down to about an inch from the floor?! Wishing you all the best for next season. Maybe if they would allow us to produce CO2 the plants would be stronger!
Pruning to an inch would solve some problems I guess. Not sure if we would get any more grapes though ;}
I know they make clippers that will not cut your fingers, do some research ,good luck.
Hi there. Yes, you are absolutely correct and I think I should have gone for those. I think they are very expensive but still cheaper than a finger I guess.
@@mycountrylife810 please can you share your brand of pruners?
