Subject: VASCM: In-Row Mulching
Message-ID: <1380655953.31964.YahooMailNeo@web181005.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

Hi VASCM Members,
We're looking at ways to improve our practices in our hillside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyard and mulching is one that comes up. ?This practice doesn't seem to be widely used, although it's easy to find studies that recommend it for weed suppression, moisture retention and micronutrients. ?Have any of our members tried it? ?Is the difficulty in applying the mulch unjustified? ?Did it harbor pests or fungus, or perhaps introduce new weed species?

We plan to start using non-irrigated cover crops between rows and the in-row mulching would be in addition to this.

It would be great to hear about your experiences - thanks.

Jeff Griffin

Subject: VASCM: Post harvest question
Message-ID: <CD7E9DE6-A962-406A-B0D0-FEA918CE05E6@comcast.net>

Members, I have finished harvesting...I have watered for 9 hrs. and fertilized thru my fertigation system.
I have an ongoing issue with my vines which I believe has stemmed from not spraying the first 4 years of my vineyard....started spraying this year due to that it was the first year of keeping the grapes on the vine. I believe that by not spraying when the vines were young...I have an infestation of mold on my vines that has stunted my vines and harvest.

Is there anything I can do/spray on the vines post harvest that will help before the vines go dormant to kill all mold spores ?
Thanks
Jim

For those of you irrigating in Santa Cruz County, cost-share grants are 
available for irrigation system evaluations. This program is sponsored 
by the Central Coast Agricultural Water Quality Coalition in conjunction 
with the NRCS. The program expires at the end of December. Please see 
the attached flier or the text reproduced below for more information and 
who to contact if you are interested.
*
**Irrigation system efficiency evaluations available to Santa Cruz 
County Growers*

Irrigation system efficiency evaluations are currently available to 
growers in Santa Cruz County through a Natural Resources Conservation 
Service (NRCS) grant. The value of each evaluation is about $2,000 but 
the cost to the grower is just $500. A sliding scale or discounts for 
multiple evaluations will be considered.

Irrigation system efficiency evaluations are confidential and include:

-  an assessment of system-wide pressure levels, water leaks, and the 
uniformity with which water is distributed;
-  a confidential report summarizing the results and recommendations for 
system improvements is provided to and discussed with the grower; and
-  if interested, assistance applying for NRCS financial incentive 
programs to help with the costs of making upgrades.

This program will expire December 31, 2013, and a limited number of 
evaluations are available.

To sign up or get more info, contact the Central Coast Ag Water Quality 
Coalition at 831 475-5159 or erin.agwater at gmail.com

This is a joint effort of the Central Coast Ag Water Quality Coalition 
and the Resources Conservation District of Santa Cruz County.

*About Steven R. Gliessman:*

An internationally recognized leader in the field of agroecology, 
Stephen (Steve) Gliessman is the Alfred E. Heller Professor of 
Agroecology in UC Santa Cruz's Environmental Studies Department, where 
he has taught since 1981. He was the founding director of the UCSC 
Agroecology Program; he founded and directs the Program in Community and 
Agroecology (PICA), an experiential living/learning program at UCSC; he 
heads UCSC's Agroecology
Research Group, an interdisciplinary body of faculty, students and 
others in the agroecological community; and he is the author of numerous 
books and articles. In 2008, Gliessman became the chief editor of the 
internationally known Journal of Sustainable Agriculture. In 2001, Steve 
and his wife Robbie Jaffe started the Community Agroecology Network 
(CAN). CAN's goal is to help a network of rural, primarily 
coffee-growing communities in Mexico and Central America develop self 
sufficiency and sustainable growing practices.

Gliessman defines agroecology as the application of ecological concepts 
and principles to the design and management of sustainable food 
systems.  Research has included the conversion of conventional cropping 
systems to ecologically-based management; and the interface between 
agroecosystems and natural ecosystems.

Gliessman owns Condor's Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara County, an organic 
orchard and vineyard.

Message-ID: <D6DA4E9F-2C8C-43A7-BE7E-948DCF9A2912@comcast.net>

Members, I have in the past posted a lot of questions pertaining to my vine issues ( stunting ).. We have all guessed at the issue/ problem...from micro nutrients to boron etc...
Even though I have done soil amendments ...watered, had samples done..could not find the answer...
So, I finally got smart and got Ms. Purdy Foxx to come over and take a look. We went over the history of the vineyard from start to now.... We were scratching our collective heads...one of her last questions was what kind of weed killer was I using for under the vines...."roundup"?I couldn't remember...so I went into the shed and brought it out...
Well needless to say the look on Ms. Purdy's face told me I had screwed up....The weed killer worked great...In fact too great.....this kind of weed killer was one that saturated the ground and went thru the roots to kill systemically ........ Not just topical........
So, in my due diligence ( every year applied ) to kill the weeds I turned into a Vine Serial Killer....

The moral of the story is two fold...first know what you are applying to your vineyard and second get a professional consultant for your vineyard ...instead of using every tom, Dick and Harry .

Attached is a photo of the stuff I used.....got it at Costco...
I guess you live and learn, hope this helps another novice.

Thanks
Jimmi V,
Spider Mountain Vineyards

Wines & Vines Magazine published a story on Wednesday about this year's 
harvest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. You can check it out here, 
<http://www.winesandvines.com/template.cfm?section=news&content=122722> 
at http://www.winesandvines.com/template.cfm?section=news&content=122722.

You will see that Nathan Kandler; Ryan Beauregard; Ed Muns; Tony Craig; 
Michael Wargin; Prudy Foxx and Mary Lindsay are all quoted here.  It's a 
good article about harvest in our region, and does a pretty good job of 
representing the length and breadth of the AVA.

*About Steven R. Gliessman:*

An internationally recognized leader in the field of agroecology, 
Stephen (Steve) Gliessman is the Alfred E. Heller Professor of 
Agroecology in UC Santa Cruz's Environmental Studies Department, where 
he has taught since 1981. He was the founding director of the UCSC 
Agroecology Program; he founded and directs the Program in Community and 
Agroecology (PICA), an experiential living/learning program at UCSC; he 
heads UCSC's Agroecology
Research Group, an interdisciplinary body of faculty, students and 
others in the agroecological community; and he is the author of numerous 
books and articles. In 2008, Gliessman became the chief editor of the 
internationally known Journal of Sustainable Agriculture. In 2001, Steve 
and his wife Robbie Jaffe started the Community Agroecology Network 
(CAN). CAN's goal is to help a network of rural, primarily 
coffee-growing communities in Mexico and Central America develop self 
sufficiency and sustainable growing practices.

Gliessman defines agroecology as the application of ecological concepts 
and principles to the design and management of sustainable food 
systems.  Research has included the conversion of conventional cropping 
systems to ecologically-based management; and the interface between 
agroecosystems and natural ecosystems.

Gliessman owns Condor's Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara County, an organic 
orchard and vineyard.

Total scam. Been going for years so it's surprising that anyone still
tries it. They end up burning you on the "courier" that they ask you to
pre-pay and be reimbursed. It's actually not about the wine order at all.

conservation projects, the deadline is Nov. 15. Attached is the application.

Numerous VASCM members have received funding under the Environmental 
Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for projects including rainwater 
collection systems; hedgerows; ponds, etc.

You can find general information on EQIP at www.ca.nrcs.usda.gov . Click 
on 'Farm Bill' under the 'Programs' tab at the top of the page. Then 
under 'Financial Assistance' you will find the details about 
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Interested applicants 
are encouraged to request conservation planning and technical assistance 
from a local NRCS field office to help with the development of a 
conservation plan. A conservation plan is the basis for an EQIP application.

Subject: VASCM:  In-Row Mulching - Pros and Cons
In-Reply-To: <1B6B1E4DC1B7D444A36AA2B612DA10DD1FC099@001FSN2MPN1-041.001f.mgd2.msft.net>

A question was posed to this group recently about mulching, and there 
was some discussion about it at the last meeting a couple of weeks ago.  
Rich Casale of the NRCS has provided the attached document that speaks 
to the pros and cons of mulching.

 From this document:

/I personally think that the advantages of using mulch between vine rows 
outweigh the disadvantages. In addition, some of the disadvantages can 
be overcome with the proper mulch product, application and maintenance. 
Before deciding whether or not mulching is right for your vineyard and 
where to use (vine rows, between vine rows, access roads, bare soil 
areas around vineyard or all of the above) consult with your vineyard 
specialist, UC cooperative extension expert, and/or the USDA Natural 
Resource Conservation Service.  Every vineyard and every site is 
completely different and requires a site specific determination.////
//
//////////Mulch can be used selectively in vineyards to both reduce 
weeds and still be done so without harming your vines. Between-rows 
mulching is a beneficial method without compromising vine production and 
quality. A 2- to 3-inch layer of a finely ground bark, or a 4-6 inch 
layer of loose weed-free straw (not hay) can be placed in the middle of 
grape rows between vines.////////
////
//A 2-inch layer of mulch around the base of the vines can help weeds 
that compete for the same water and nutrients the grapes do. Mulching 
can help to regulate soil temperatures as well. On well-drained soils, 
mulch can help to conserve moisture and reduce erosion. /

*Note: Mulching is incentive practice under the Environmental Quality 
Incentive Program (EQIP) administered by the USDA-NRCS, and is eligible 
for funding. The sign up deadline for the 2014 program is Nov 15, 2013.

*Information about the EQIP program was sent to this list a couple of 
weeks ago. Numerous VASCM members have received funding under the EQIP 
program for projects including rainwater collection systems; hedgerows; 
ponds, etc.

You can find general information on EQIP at www.ca.nrcs.usda.gov . Click 
on 'Farm Bill' under the 'Programs' tab at the top of the page. Then 
under 'Financial Assistance' you will find the details about 
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Interested applicants 
are encouraged to request conservation planning and technical assistance 
from a local NRCS field office to help with the development of a 
conservation plan. A conservation plan is the basis for an EQIP application.

For more specific information about the program, creating a conservation 
plan and projects you might apply for, contact:

A slightly corrected and more improved version of the article/handout I wrote is attached. One VASCM member caught a typo. I corrected it and made some other minor edits to one attached. See you Mon, Nov 4 at you vineyard.
