Planting scheme

Bazhena is a grape variety loved by gardeners. But when planting, it is recommended to take into account its features:

  1. Bazhena grows well in sunny areas protected from northern and northeastern winds. The grapes bear fruit near the southern and southwestern walls of country houses.
  2. The variety prefers soils that are fertile, loose, with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction. It is recommended to deoxidize acidic ones by adding lime (1 liter per square meter). To obtain loose soil, add perlite, neutral peat, and sand.
  3. The depth of groundwater is 3-4 m. The grapes do not tolerate waterlogging of the soil. To prevent the root system from getting wet, drainage must be done before planting.

It is recommended to plant Bazhena in the garden in early spring (March) or mid-autumn (early October). When planting in spring, the soil temperature should be 7-10 degrees Celsius. In autumn, planting should be done 2-3 weeks before the onset of steady cold weather. During this time, the bush will have time to take root well.
