I am curious how this advice meshes with previous advice given some weeks ago
suggesting that "immediate" burying of the vines produced greater root growth at
the leaf nodes. I had always assumed that letting secondaries and flower buds
grow first was critical and then bury the vines after that, as these current
posts suggest. Are there people out there burying the vines before secondaries
and flower buds develop?
