Title
Vineyard staff prepare to lay drainage tile in the vineyard.
Description
Drainage was an important element in preparing a vineyard for planting. It formed a significant part of George Hostetter's research early in his career. It was very important to provide proper drainage for heavy Niagara clay soils so that the precious vines would not rot in standing water.
