- 1). Choose a location to plant the grapes. The best site is on a well-drained southern slope. Grapes need a lot of sun exposure.
- 2). Hammer the T-posts 1 foot into the ground, spacing them every 10 feet. Unroll the mesh wire and prop it up against the T-posts. Tie the mesh to the T-posts with wire in four spots on each post.
- 3). Dig a hole 1 foot deep and 1 foot in diameter right next to one end of the wire mesh fence.
- 4). Place the grape tree into the hole. Cover the roots with soil. Pack the soil down firmly. If you are planting multiple grape trees, space them out every 8 feet along the fence.
- 5). Saturate the ground with water. Keep the ground fairly wet for two weeks. Water the grape trees at least once a week from then on.
