Reply to winegrape YAN values and SAP N-Total Nitrogen
Ciao a tutti, I find this discussion key to the struggles in vineyards. Although I have not found a source for affordable sap analysis yet I am optimistic that this is the way forward for right nutrient balance in the vines and during the fermentation processes. I know we are “only” making an alcoholic beverage which is not key to nutrition of…

Reply to Companion Crops for Potato
From what I have been learning, one would need at least 4 companion plants filling different roles in the soil to be most effective. The deep taproot of chicory would be a great one! I am going to try some different companion mixes in next year’s potato crop.
@David, do you have some ideas which living mulches would benefit which crops?
