£6 PLANTING vines.
7. Distances of planting.—This is wholly regulated by the quantity of vines you have at your command, and the extent of land to be covered. .Some
will plant them three feet apart. In this case, it must
take them a long time to mat. Some plant them
eighteen inches apart, which of course is better than
the former plan, because they will be matted all the
sooner. The rule is, the nearer you can plant your
vines the better, providing your patch is not overrun
with weeds and foul grass. The object in such a
case of planting them wider apart would be to give
the cultivator an opportunity of getting between the
vines and destroying the weeds, and whatever else
might be likely to choke them.
