June 2009: Mixing of Amendments and Root Removal

(Above) Mario Mengali from northern Sonoma County operated a 4 foot mold board plow to mix in the amendments and lift up deep roots. (Below) Vineyard crew member Salvador Ayala spades in the amendments prior to deep mixing with the plow.


(Above) Vineyard crew members collect roots uplifted by the plow, and place them in one of several piles (below).


(Below) The plow exposes the variation in our soil below: The red hill top soil begins abruptly next to the yellow Goldridge soil.
