Vines. Vines require but little attention. Wood should becut back severely in the spring on vines with ornamental fruit. Re-move old canes and check any growth that becomes too rank. Shootsthat are too long or spoil the general effect should be cut. All climbers must be furnished with some kind of support and care should be takento fasten loose ends. Usually vines are planted close to foundations. It must be re-membered that most foundations are carefully provided with a line ofdrainage on the outside of the wall in order to readily care for anysurface water that seeps into the soil and then later seeps through thewall if not promptly carried away. For this reason, probably, vinesrequire more attention than most other plants in order to keep themsupplied with a quantity of water necessary to their normal develop-ment. They should also be very frequently fertilized, preferably withbone meal or well-rotted manure. Well-rotted cow manure is an idealfertilizer for most vines. |
