As Angie meeting today I'll bring the analysis of the ground and ask him to help me read through his experience.
To put all in a position to "read" the analysis of the soil of the vineyard say to you that all the analytical determinations were carried out on fine earth on the ground or air-dried and sieved. The pH indicates whether a soil is acidic, values \u200b\u200bbelow 6.8, neutral values \u200b\u200bbetween 6.8 and 7.2, or alkaline values \u200b\u200bgreater than 7.2 (the land of my vineyard is sub-alkaline (valore7, 6)). Strange but true conductivity is an index of soil salinity, are considered elevated 800uS/cm (142.8 so low salinity in the vineyard). Considering that the pH of the soil of the vineyard is 7.6 has also provided analysis of total calcium and active lime. Active limestone above the value of 5 could cause the annoying phenomenon of "chlorosis" leaf yellowing due to the unavailability of iron (4.2 in the vineyard).
It was also verified the CSC a value that measures the ability of soil to retain some nutrients. Before the tillage and planting of "Barbabella" This value was indicated as high (32.9 in the vineyard), I am told that the correct value should be between 10 and 20 meq/100 g. Ricontrollerò the next analysis this value since high values \u200b\u200bof CSC (cation exchange capacity) may show the conditions that make it unavailable for the screws, some elements such as potassium or calcium. It is true however that the composition of the soil and the rising presence of SO should not cause concern whatsoever. The water was available for the vineyard in the past and should once again become the independent by the desire to use the water itself. Well well. I'll ask anyway to have the water in the vineyard.
In the late afternoon I went to see Angie, I must say that it is always a pleasure to talk to him about the vineyard and wine in front of a couple of glasses of its wine, (he felt a little low, in my humble notice was alive, moving, and enjoyable for me because it is not stabilized in short, do not live very much alive). From the perspective of the land of my vineyard Angie is "fat" SO my vines in his vineyard, 8 = SO 2, organic matter have to sell (too well). No fertilizer will be needed for some years in his opinion. He confirmed that the operations of opening the land to bring air to the micro bacteria in depth is appropriate, in its view, a first opening in the fall and a spring. The use of forage for herbs in the alleyways and for crushing the shoots produce new OS The opening of the land, moreover, will also lead SO enticing deep roots to descend more deeply, to the benefit of my food "Barbabella.
It 'hard to believe how much you take and the vineyard management. It may seem strange: I miss it!
course last weekend it rained on both Saturday and Sunday vineyard (over 31mm/48h) and this makes me feel less guilty about the 'abandonment'. However, we leave tomorrow night, vineyard destination. I will continue at least for cleaning all day Saturday and part of Sunday morning. Thursday I'll make a gift to my father, who turned 80 last Monday, I'm going to take and bring him to see the vineyard. He, a farmer up to thirty years on the family lands, turned into the hospital the first time employee and then retired, so excited when I speak of my vineyard, that just did not imagine it will pick up to show him the work that I'm passionate about both. I will present my "Barbabella", of course, on a collective, not one by one. I can see, lived on the face, that smile, satisfied that, sometimes (very few compared to what it deserved), in my life, I managed to arouse in him. I feel the need to show him what I'm doing. I feel the need to share with him our dream. I write our dream in the plural, because the dream of the vineyard, even if described in these pages only to me, is shared with my wife. I only hope that Thursday is a day without rain, but not so much for your trip to allow my father to walk with us in the vineyard. In my company, my wife, the most beautiful dog in the world (Brown, "the vigneron, four kilos of love and sweetness that turned into a valuable guardian, during operations in the vineyard, barking at anyone who "dares" to look at the vineyard, of course, from a distance) and all "Barbabella. I am convinced that my "Barbabella" will be happy to know my father and this will benefit.
