Plots & Plans
Today I met with Stephen Collum once again at the property in search of "adult supervision." At a later date, I'll do a write-up exclusively on his role in our process so as to recommend his company, Vineyard Concepts. In the meantime, he arrived today and measured out our plantable area provided me with my homework over next few months.
1. Remove all large stones and boulders that were unearthed when Garry ripped the property.
2. Purchase 15 yards of turkey manure from Diestel Turkey Ranch to build up organic matter.
3. Purchase 500 pounds of water-soluble gypsum to loosen clay soil.
4. Mix and spread aforementioned manure and gypsum blend throughout the vineyard site.
5. Purchase and place 800x four ft. T-Posts; 5x5 spacing on hill and 7x7 spacing on slope.
6. String 13 gauge steel wire for drip irrigation system.
In less than 60 minutes, Stephen gave me three months worth of part time work.
