Default Conservatory vine

The message
from "PK" contains these words:

Also a large vine is a very hungry plant if allowed to fruit heavily, hence
the practice of top growth inside, root growth outside - eg Hampton court
where the extensive root area is kept clear and manured every year.


Manured? That's totally wrong for a vine. Bonemeal or hoof and horn,
yes, but manure just makes for lots of greenery and few bunches of
grapes.

Shoot the gardener and bury him under a vine.
