    I'm Interested In Buying Some Property To Grow Grape Vines, How Much Top Soil Should There Be For A Grape Vine To Grow Properly? Also Under Top Soil There Is Limestone Will That Be A Problem For The Grape Vine To Grow Healthy.

    The teroir considerations for commercial growing are quite different to the requirements of hobby growers, and at an typical development cost of $25K per acre, a qualified vinyard consultant is an absolute must.

    For a small scale vinyard, almost anything but insufficient sunshine can be overcome by a determined grower thru variety/rootstock selection, irrigation/drainage, spacing, fencing, netting, winter protection as appropriate. For some contacts in your area:
