I Ripped Out an Apple Orchard to Plant Vines

Brendan just got back from overseas and walked straight into crunch time: three and a half hectares of bare, ripped-up hillside that needs to become a vineyard in the next couple of weeks. Apple orchards gone, posts staged, compost down the rip lines, and a whole lot of chances to get it spectacularly wrong. This is the honest version of building a farm from the dirt up. Wood strainers versus metal, watering above ground against a trial plot buried below it, cover crops seeded so heavy they turned into a jungle, and slopes steep enough to make turning a tractor a genuinely bad idea. Brendan lays out the plan, the price of chasing quality, and the bits everyone told him wouldn't work. Play along while you watch: pick which experiment you think pays off and which one comes back to bite him. The results are still growing, so your guess is as good as his right now.
