I added grapes to the homestead a few months ago but never got around to adding their trellis, if I knew it would be this easy I would have done it sooner!

My neighbors growing up had a grape trellis and sometimes I'd sneak over there and snag a couple and man...to this day, no grape hits like those grapes did! Just bought our own property last week and looking forward to finally getting to implement this myself!
Getting them from someone else is what makes it taste priceless. 😅
You forgot the grape rootstock.
Perfect timing as I'm getting ready to put up some grape trellises on either side of my new archway leading into my produce garden. Thanks again for another great video!
Hardest part of Grapes is keeping the Japanese Beetles from Destroying them.
Good to know, I already struggle with Japanese Beetles
Japanese beetles didn't eat my grapes, just the leaves.
Kaolin clay
Love the sound effects. They have are putting me in stitches 🤣
Love it! I always drempt about having a backyard pergola or arbor with grapevines all over the top of it like they do in Italy. Someday.
I literally told my husband last weekend that I want to try to grow grapes next year! This is my sign 😂
I have a grape vine growing on the side of my garage, this plant is growing like crazy, I live in a small city so my trellis will be janky lol
Very cool Kevin! I moved from Napa Ca to the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri last November. Started homesteading on the new 25 acres! I’m so amazed at what you’ve accomplished since you purchased your new place! Have always loved your show and knowledge! 💯🤙
Double nut (tighten 2 nuts against each other) it at the end of the threaded part. Then use 1/4 hex to 3/8 socket adapter. Then put that on an impact drill.
I got some Velcro ties for mine so I could adjust as needed. The tendrils actually grab on the wire pretty good so I haven’t needed many ties
You boys going to bust out the togas and sandals for your next grape harvest?
Happy to see a new upload, would love to grow grapes one day
Take two nuts and lock them against one another on the threads
This second nut is called a "jam nut"
Great way to take out or drive any stud
I decided to purchase 2 Catwaba red grapevine rootstock. Planted 1 at my home in zone 10b and 1 at my aunt's zone 9a. Good news is grapes can adjust to any type of soil and need very little fertilizer. I couldn't believe how fast it took off. I found a vinyl arbor trellis that I got a steal on that was sitting in a garage. It has already reached the top of the trellis. It loves the right companions! I had a few volunteer Sunflowers now i have Armenian cucumbers growing next to them. The package said it would take 3 years to get them. An experienced botanist told me it would only take 1 year 😊
Inspiring video! Last fall i took hardwood cuttings from my neighbours' grape vines, a year before i started some grape plants from tasty shop bought grapes and bought 4 varieties of my favourite red grape wine vines grenache/garnacha & dornfelder and just in case the cuttings would fail. But now i have 7 grape vines (2 varieties) from cuttings, 2 plants from seeds and the 4 plants i bought = 13 in total :D
I think i ran a little bit crazy with this hobby and yeah there must be something mystical or holy in this kind of plant and fruit.
My garden is a so called Kleingarten (in German) / allotment garden (en) with less than 300 m2 / 3200 square feet space and now i have to do some conceptional work to do on wich kinds of trellis systems i will grow them. Has someone already found out that Jesus was a gardener? He grew vine grapes and gave same water to grow. That was the trick. Let me end this nonscientific excurse with a quote from the singer Kimya Dawson: 'Jesus came turned water into wine. i turned it back, now everything's fine.'
I’m going to give this a try this year! Can’t wait to see your updates!
This couldn't have come at a better time. I have a bunch of grape vines to plant that I've been putting off. XD
Great job on your grapes🍇😊
About 5 years ago, I started some grapes from seed. (I really love starting trees/plants from seed myself, there’s just some thing about it). Nonetheless, last summer, I built my own trellis for them to grow on. It’s actually a garden arch which goes from my deck to my yard, and it came out pretty nice. I used some cut branches from my backyard trees, I wish I could post a photo here, I think you all would enjoy it.
Now I am just waiting for my grapes to fruit. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong because they have not yet fruited and they should be old enough to give fruit. I guess I’ll have to do a little research. But my plants are gorgeous, just no fruit yet.
❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
How did you source your seeds? I love growing from seed as well
@@DracoTriste one of my grapes I bought at the store here locally, it’s a white grape. The other, I had some red seeded grapes that I bought at the store. And I just planted a few in a pot to see what I would get. Fortunately, I had about eight plants. Unfortunately we moved from So Cal to Houston and I had to ship all my plants, they suffered a little bit. Most of them died, and I was able to keep the one that lived, my other plants lived because they were more mature did better. I grew some lemon trees, mandarin orange trees, apple trees, and mulberry trees, and many more items that I shipped to myself. I still have a few things in pots that I haven’t transplanted yet I need help because our soil is very hard clay. I have to wait till my husband has time since he still working. Thanks for asking. God, bless you. ❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
Grapes are so yummy! I personally love the green grapes💚
I didn’t get any grapes my first year. I got bare root one year old plants. I planted pole beans in the same area to amend any nitrogen issues. Worked great. I didn’t want grape production the first year. I wanted to focus on root establishing and main stem strength. They grew about 7ft in about 4 months.
Will having it that close to the fence cause an issue with airflow making it susceptible to disease
I’m sure you have heard, but a tropical storm is forming south of Mexico. Looking to turn into a hurricane and head right your way. Something to be mindful of. Be safe and keep gardening!
Just bought your book 📕 ❤
Can't really grow grapes without a trellis... Okay, I'll be sure to tell the wild Concord grapes overtaking the back yard they can't grow without a trellis 😅
I wish I had wild concords going nutso on my place...
Concord grapes have very different leaves that are far more resistant to powdery mildew. On the coast if you don't trellis these non Concord grapes you are going to have a lower chance of success
Supposedly you can root those cuttings as new grape plants.
So tomato holders would work good to train the main stem to the wire
The pruning sound effects 🤣✂️
Your editor is 🔥😁
Love the grape trellis idea. Will definitely installing somthing similar next year.
Great video! And cool that you get some avos. When I used to live in Valley Center (near Escondido) I had 10 avocado trees on the property, and let me tell you I felt like a rich man :) I didn't plant any of it though, so I can't take the credit. Thank Mother Nature for that one.
If you don't have Phylloxera/Daktulosphaira vitifoliae in your area the prunings are excellent for cuttings :)
Don't grapes want a ton of air circulation? Wouldn't that fence interfere with air flow? And isn't it too dark underneath the canopy of the avocado?
I planted my grapes in front of my veg garden fence. I end up with fungus and have to spray them every year otherwise I would lose the crop. My daughter who set up her own vinyard said they do need more air circulation. I want to move them away from the fence.
Would love an update on this
Research actually found that there was no diff in energy stores in grapevines with pruning just after fruit harvest vs later in the year so if you gotta prune end of summer it shouldn't cause any issues!
Lock the two nuts together with washer behind, and use the front one to wind in the threaded bar, then wind the back one in to grip the washer.
^^ this. 100%
I used to have grapes out in the East County, and every year about the third week in January when we get a mild Santa Ana and lots of warm sunshine, I would spray the vines with a pretty dilute powdered milk and water. I never had mildew on my grapes later in the year when I remembered to do this. You have to spray when everything is dormant and it gets warm and sunny. Hope that works out next to the fence. Is that south facing?
I've used regular whole milk mixed with water for cukes and zucchini, but always when it was "too late". I trust you that it prevents but can also attest that it helps keep the PM at bay after you get it... of course there's no natural method that I've heard of for actually killing the PM since it's a systemic infection.
It's one of the only sprays that I've used that requires being sprayed in the sun and it's simple to clean out of the backpack sprayer unlike NEEM (which I love, but it's a pain).
I think you may need to remove more slack from that wire. Once it is supporting cordons and grape bunches that will be quite a bit of weight. Otherwise I love that hardware!
I like how you " taught" the wire to to stay right on the bolt 😂
The hardest part about grapes for me is they grow like crazy and I don't always have time to maintain the vines so they get out of control.
I have mine on a hog panel trellis. I wanted a grape arch.
Did you plant and trellis your grapes on a north-facing wall? ... or are you filming in the morning?
I've found that grapes like to be in the direct sunlight of the afternoon (slightly southwest facing)
Good information
Mini crescent wrench
What variety of grapes are you growing? I'm in San Diego so the climate would be the same. I enjoy all your videos and am learning so much.
Could you plant those clippings?
@EpicHomesteading Could you use the cuttings to propagate new plants?
Do you have a video about your fence? I’ve been wanting to do something similar around my A/C unit, to hide the ugliness when I’m shooting videos in my backyard. If you have an affiliate link for the metal you used, I’d love to access it!
could I get a link or a name to the bolts you bought on Amazon?
Question, when the grapes go dormant can you not move them closer to the trellis then?
Will you be putting the wire about two feet away from the fence so the vines get plenty of sunlight?
If you ever want to visit a vineyard, let me know! Our family member owns one up in Sonoma.
kevin can you tell me how can south african get the epic 6/4 cell pots
epic needs a cresent wrench
I don’t know why you keep dogging poor Jacques. He’s so sweet. Lol it’s funny how y’all compete. 😅
Does the epic team respond? I'm thinking about trellising some grapes on cow panel arches. Do you think this could work?
I'm no expert but that should work. Just ensure that the arches are planted in the ground well because the weight could tip things over once your grape vine grows large. Your main grape vine should be undisturbed and it will become really huge overtime so I would at least have a post for support.
awesome video
hi Kevin i just saw your new chanel on you epic gardening chanel im happy to subscribe to this chanel aswell
Hi Kevin, this may be irrelevant but please don't forget to write off your Katana as an advertising expense. I entirely expect you to fruit ninja some grapes for us.
Can we get a baby chick update?
Stay safe Kevin and Epic Girlfriend
This is a great setup, but is the grape trellis hermit proof?
🏃🍇🚓
My grapes leaves turned red almost immediately after buying them 😞
What's going on with your grapes? 👀
Great information, but had to stop watching because the music was irritating my nerves/brain so much I was getting upset.
I have planted at least 5 or 6 new grapevines in the past 3 years. ALL of them are DEAD. I did the trellis, fertilizing, sunshine etc. This morning (April 18, 2024), I transplanted wild blackberries to my trellis. Lots of people have vineyards here. Some have giant grapevines on a huge pergola and tons of grapes. Mine never got more than a few leaves, and were less than knee high.
There is no freaking thing as "THESE ONES." "These" is already plural. This one. That one, or these, or those. And you were doing so well for a Millennial.
