Growing Grapes in the Home Garden

Abstract

Also consider the possibility of herbicide drift. Grapes are very susceptible to injury from 2,4-D, dicamba, and similar broadleaf herbicides. In rural areas, select sites protected by large trees (windbreaks) or topography. In urban areas, inform neighbors of the location of your grape planting. If your neighbors control their broadleaf weeds with broadleaf herbicides, encourage them to apply these materials to their lawns in fall. Fall applications provide the best broadleaf weed control and are less likely to injure grapevines.
