Means The Soil Structure:
Grapevines grow well on a wide range f soil types. However, they do not grow well i heavy clay, shallow, poorly drained, alkali, or igh-boron soils. V. vinifera varieties are deep-acted and should have a loose soil structure, /hich favors extensive root development. The sputed influence of soil type on the quality of tie wines in certain areas of Europe may be more factor of soil drainage and higher soil tem-eratures than an effect of soil per se,Climate.As soon as a piece of land is dug, the process of humus breakdown is speeded up. This means the soil structure and the organic and chemical content may have to be altered. There are many materials, bulky or granular, organic or inorganic, that can be used to improve soil and turn it into the best possible growing medium for a wide range of plants. A compost pile will cheaply and quickly turn backyard and kitchen waste into valuable soil-enriching material. • To make good, crumbly compost the pile must be properly constructed so that the organic material can decompose rapidly and not just turn into a pile of stagnant vegetation.
THE BETTER the quality of the soil in your garden, the better your plants will grow. If your soil is poor and infertile you will have to improve it. But first, since soils vary hugely in texture, structure and quality, begin by working out what type of soil you have in the garden.
