A few questions for the collective intelligence....... 1) At what stage do you thin your vines down? 2) Do you thin to 1 or 2 per mound? 3) Do you thin the vines by uprooting them or by cutting the plants off at ground level? ** For #3 I'm worried about disturbing the root structure of the remaining plants by uprooting the wimpy vines!! All input welcome!! Bob Stear Livermore, Ca.
