  • Recipies
  • Even if growing in a greenhouse, the roots of the vine should ideally be outside and trained in at a low level.
  • Otherwise, ensure the soil outside is well irrigated.
  • Inside, if planting in soil in the greenhouse, double-dig the soil, add well rotted manure or compost and Gromore fertiliser.
  • Vines should be planted at the far end from the door, parallel to the walls. Planting in November or December is best as vines can be pruned without “bleeding”.
  • In spring, add in Fish, Blood & Bone & once growth starts, feed with tomato feed every 3 weeks increasing to every week once vine in full leaf.
  • Mulch in spring & summer with compost.
  • If using a container use compost & a pot at least 12-15 inch diameter.
  • Raw – grapes make a quick tasty snack and can be added to many dishes as a fresh texture and flavour.
  • Some varieties of grapes can be made into wine.
