VASCM: Vineyard Installation Course At Foothill College

[Mary Lindsay]

You can find out more about Ron's course here 
<http://www.foothill.edu/schedule/schedule.php?dept=VITI&Quarter=2016F> 
on the Foothill College website. This course runs 9/26 - 11/19. Foothill 
offers associate degree and certificate programs in Viticulture, Enology 
& Wine Business.

Here is the full description of Ron's class:

Buying grapevines at a nursery and planting them is but one step in the 
integrated process of establishing a vineyard. Regional differences, 
vine growing theories, and historical development are presented, along 
with variety selection and a discussion of how grapevines grow. The 
establishment process begins with site evaluation, soil preparation and 
physical layout. Trellis systems, drip irrigation, cover crops, and deer 
fences are illustrated. Various types of controls for potential pests 
and diseases are revealed. And, of course, the vines themselves are 
described from planting, through training, and into harvest. This course 
is intended for students in the viticulture program but members of the 
public and professional community are welcome to enroll.
