Planting Vines

We've just planted the new grapevines!

First we loosen the earth to a depth of 40 cm with a tractor and a planting-plough.

Then we place the new vines in a rotating gripping arm, which sets each one into a freshly opened aperture in the soil.

After this, the earth is tamped down lightly.

With the help of laser-beam technology, we can plant the vines in rows that are as straight as a poker, although the older tracts are not so well suited for this.

In those instances, we lay a wire along the vine-row, and follow it with the machinery.

Now the vines have even been christened by St Peter—and a hearty 'God Bless' on that account!
