[Growwine] grow tubes

[Norene Hyatt-Gervais]

Harold,  I didn't meant to imply there is a connection between the use of
the herbicides and the august removal.  Only that the tubes are useful for
the applications of the herbicide and that it is important to remove them in
August for the reasons that Laura and others have stated. Norene

it allows the plants to harden off so they will make it through their first
winter 

 

the tubes encourage lush very green growth 

if you do not get sufficient lignification you will have a tall dead vine in
the spring :-(

I am sorry I do not understand the connection between the post emergent
application of herbicides and the removal of the grow tubes in August.  Mark
Hart contends that essentially the grow tubes are required / beneficial to
set up an increased CO2 environment, what sort of criteria is required to
determine the appropriate time to remove tubes to decrease CO2 environment,
and what benefit or purpose does such a reduction serve to aid in plant
development and so on.

I agree Duke,  the people giving the seminar ( from Cornell University cold
climate viticulture research program ) recommended that the tubes be put on
in the first year to allow for 2 sprays of post emergent herbicide ( roundup
) and then the tubes removed for the season ( likely around august )  Norene

Hello Steve,

I used Grow Tubes for 2 years on small seedlings. They work great, but as
Margaret suggesed you require air flow. The new plants are really prone to
mildew, so you really have to spray them more often. - And be sure to remove
them around August.

Quoting Margaret Marshall : 

Hi Steve!  We have 500 grow tubes we never used.  We would be willing to
part with them for half price.  They are in new condition.  We were going to
use them and Angelo Pavan suggested not to because they don't allow enough
air to the vines.  Ciao, Margaret

I am looking for pricing and directory for vine grow tubes, and any good
experiences with specific styles? as well as steel pencil rod vine stakes..
thanks Steve
