Super thick stone walls
Chalet Antoine

Our cooking can
The stream going by our camp
Polenta peanut butter and a plant that tastes like rhubarb

Vine pruning and other things
My sweet new bike
There is a park near my house with vines pruned in all of the different ways they have been since grapes have been around.
A low lying type of pruning good for cold because you can bury it in the winter.
Pruning for very steep vineyards good because you can walk in a zigzag between the vines.
Name: Niedere Pfalzer Erziehung, Another low lying pruning style for cold weather. very hard to harvest though.
Name: Offene Lyraerziehung, This style is good for allot of grapes.
Baumerziehung: the first style of grape training ever not very practical
Geschlossener Kammertbau: A roman style good if you don't have any metal.
A trellis
Pergola: Another non-metal style.
Hone Pfalzer Erziehung: a primitive type of metal trellis.
Offener Kammertbau: Another non-metal style.
Don't have much info on those last two.
Flachbogen: not that different from the pruning around here think it is good for mechanical pruning.
Umkehrerziehung: don't know the story behind this.
Pfaheirziehung:
Just some cool looking vines don't know what their called.
Vineyard snails good for making escargot.
