How and where to plant
Despite the fact that the Original grape is not a whimsical crop, there are still some planting nuances.
The soil can be any, but it is better to give preference to fertile black soil. If clay and sand abound on the site, then before planting varietal grapes in the chosen place, you need to apply fertilizers for 2-3 years in a row. For this, humus and compost are suitable.
The location of groundwater is also important, they should not lie higher than 1.5 m. Otherwise, the load will damage the root system, which will lead to loss of yield and even the death of shrubs.
When planting, a free space of at least 2 m is left between the seedlings, but it is best to lay 6 m. Such a long distance is associated with the rapid growth and development of grapes. Landing next to the foundation of a summer cottage requires a free distance to the room of at least 1 m.

Subtleties of care
Any plant needs care. The recommendations for this variety are as follows:
- Carrying out regular watering. A sufficient amount of moisture allows you to get a good harvest. Watering under the root system is not encouraged, so you need to make a hole next to the plant, water the shrub, bury and mulch. This will allow moisture to remain in the ground longer.
- Fertilization. Grapes need potassium and phosphorus, and the plant responds well to organic feeding. But the gardener should remember that too many nutrients can negatively affect the health of the culture.
- To reduce the risk of fungus on the plant, it is recommended to periodically spray the grapes with special preparations. The processing time depends on which product is chosen. All necessary data are indicated in the instructions.
