It was raining this morning when we awoke, making the remaining harvest slightly problematic. But at 10 am, just after we finished up breakfast, the sun shone brightly and we were up and away into the vineyard, raincoats ready. As we finished up around noon, the skies opened up, and minutes later, the promised gale blew in. It is now gusting over 40 knots. Harvest complete in the nick of time.
The extremely high tides dumped seaweed on the road, which Alex delivered to the vineyard as the first load of fertiliser for the winter. It will decompose and provide slow-release nutrients to the vines. Seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum, provides the following essential elements:
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Amino acids
- Calcium
- Nitrogen
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Zinc
