How to Move Grapevines
- 1). Work 5 to 10 inches of compost into the soil to a depth of 1 foot. Dig a hole in the new area about 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide, using a shovel. The area should have full sun and well-drained soil.
- 2). Prune back the grapevines to two or three canes with three or four buds per cane, using pruning shears. Prune back each cane to about 1 to 2 feet long.
- 3). Dig a hole around the grapevines about 2 to 3 feet in diameter and 2 to 3 feet deep. Dig up the root ball and cut off the rest of the roots with your shovel.
- 4). Place the grapevine into the wheelbarrow and move it its new planting place. Place the grapevine into the hole and spread out the roots in the hole. Fill the hole with soil and pat it down firmly. Water the newly planted grapevines well for five to 10 minutes.
