Weeds have been my biggest problem and I'm having to clear out around each plant by hand. That takes about 30 min per vine and I'm only cleaning a four foot square. I can usually get about 10 done in a day and have done one row (21 plants done, 42 to go!) Once all the vine areas are cleared, I'll have to spray the rest of the row with herbacide and try to rake out the dead plants or use a "weed wacker". I hate weeds!!
