Now the grass down, so you enhance the deconposition of the grass. I like to
direct the tea under the vines, and also plant in a perennial covercrop under
the vines, so you make the soil in the root zone of the vine fungal
dominated. You get better flavor in the grapes when you allow them to stop fighting
the grass for bacterial versus fungal dominance. Of course, if you have deep
root systems on hte vines, then this isn't so important.
