Vines before wires lifted and Epamprage

 
Posted by Picasa

When the vines have grown sufficiently enough they are trapped between two wires to stop them breaking in the wind and rain, to aid air circulation and to to make the passage of the tractor easier . At the same time the process of Epamprage takes place, this is the removal of any growth on the main vertical stem and also around the stem head thus preventing energy going to something non productive and making the passage of air around the plant easier aiding the prevention of disease.
