- 1). Choose your location. All grape vines need plenty of sun exposure with good temperatures to be successful.
- 2). Prepare your soil. Grape vines need a quick-draining, porous soil. Combine potting soil with gravel or small stones (equal parts) to construct an ideal soil.
- 3). Dig holes for your trellises and grape vines. Holes should be spaced at 6 to 8 feet for optimum growth and be just large enough for the root balls of your grape vine canes (buds) or stems. Dig the holes slightly deeper and fill them in halfway with your potting soil to ensure good drainage for your vines.
- 4). Prepare your grape vine canes as sprouting from your bud. If the cane already has a root system, prune off damaged and broken roots.
- 5). Place the roots of your vines into their holes and spread them. If your bud doesn't yet have roots, bury what will be the root end of the cane. Cover them with a thin layer of your potting soil and then water.
