Pre-Plant BioRenovation and Soil Conditioning for New Vineyard and Small Fruit Plantings

While many sites are planted to small fruit crops with little soil preparation beyond conventional lime and fertility adjustments and seem to do well for some years, others show signs of early plant decline or never seem to reach their full productive potential. This latter scenario doesn't only occur with old sites where fruit had been planted previously, but can develop even on sites that are left fallow for many years.
