At the same time, the planted seedlings are covered with agrospan or other protective material, since return frosts are possible.

The site for grapes is chosen open, sunny, protected from the winds. The place should not go under water as a result of spring floods or as a result of prolonged precipitation. You can plant grapes in sandy, sandy loam, clay or loamy soil.

Before planting, the seedlings are placed in purified water. Soaking takes 12-24 hours. Further, all damaged or dried roots are cut off. Pits for planting plants are dug with dimensions of 1x1x1 meters. Broken brick or expanded clay is laid on the bottom, in a depression, with a layer of up to 30 cm. This measure will protect the roots of the grapes in the event of a close occurrence of groundwater. Water the seedlings and cover the soil with a small layer of mulch.

In the fall, the shoots of the first year are cut off, leaving 2-3 eyes. In the second year, in autumn, the grown shoots from the left eyes are cut off again, leaving 2-3 eyes on each. A strong support must be installed next to the growing vine.
