Using advices
Soil preparation
To replace a vine stock, make a hole with a good depth (approx. 40 cm) at the desired location with an auger or a mini-excavator. Once the hole is made, refill it. For a new planting, use a chisel plow to till deep. Then, just use the Plavi bar to plant the new seedlings and rootstocks.
Caution! Better the tillage is, easier will be the utilization of the dibble. Make sure to use the Plavi Bar in loose soil, not or little wet. It is not needed to use force in the manipulation of the dibble, under any circumstances.
