Choosing the Right Location
Grapes require a location that receives full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Also, ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging¹.
Selecting Grape Varieties
Choose varieties that are suitable for the local climate. Local varieties such as Alphonse Lavallée, Mantri, and Probolinggo Biru are some options that have adapted well in Indonesia.
Land Preparation
Clear the land from weeds and small stones. Conduct a soil analysis to determine its nutrient content and add organic or manure fertilizers to improve fertility.
Planting
Dig planting holes with sufficient depth and width to accommodate the seedling roots. The distance between plants should be about 2 meters.
Care and Maintenance
Provide support for climbing grapevines. Fertilize appropriately according to the plant's needs. Monitor soil moisture and ensure it's neither too dry nor too wet.
Pest and Disease Control
Use organic methods to control pests and diseases. You can use organic pesticides or biological control methods.
Harvesting
Grapes are ready for harvest after several months, depending on the variety. Wait until the fruits are perfectly ripe before harvesting them.
By following this guide, you'll have a strong foundation to start cultivating organic grapes in your backyard. Good luck and happy gardening!
