Hold the Water

Here's one from the archives.

In April 2006, Mark Greenspan wrote a nice article on Vineyard Water Management Fallacies in Wine Business Monthly.

He urged us to resist the temptation to irrigate in June when the temperature begins to warm up, and to stress the vines by avoid giving them too many resources. He goes on to explain the importance of the pressure bomb and the porometer, and gives a nod to soil moisture monitoring (our Australian partners will be glad to hear this).
