Smoothing the Aisles




Took my nephew Cody out to work with me for three days. We rented a tractor with a front loader and a "Gannon box" on the rear. It just fit down the aisles and leveled them out nicely with one pass. Cody became the Gannon box expert, but he made me back the tractor out of the rows so he wouldn't run over any grapes.

The aisles look great but I do regret destroying my "cover crop" of native grasses.

By the way, I strongly recommend leveling the site before planting vines!
