For viewers, prep the soil the year before planting. Add your amendments at that time. To prep, use a subsoiler, followed by a cultivator, followed by a tiller. If you have sandy soil you may not need to use a subsoiler. If you don't have a tractor, then use a broadfork, followed by a walk-behind tiller. Be sure to mulch well after planting and watering. Now be sure to keep it wayered. Adding a stake to guide the vine is also a good thing to do. In regards to planting, cutting roots is only necessary if you have a small diameter hole. Commercial vineyards use efficient methods, thus all holes will be smaller. For home growers, keep all roots! Simply make your hole wider so roots do not circle. This video is obsolete because vine sellers no longer give you a long top. In most cases you will have only one or two buds. The reason they do this is because they cut the tops off to re-root for the next year.
They plant densely to make thick short cordons so mechanical harvesters will work. Home growers do not need to plant that densely. Furthermore, more vines will give you more grapes sooner.
