They might be easy to separate but I can't find blister packed ones in the pesticides aisle at Colesworths.

Here I go again with another pedantic gripe. It grinds my gears when people don't know the difference between singluar and plural pronouns. Refer to this comment on a newspaper headline declaring Princess Mary, soon to be Queen Mary, as Scottish because her parents were Scottish.

 

                          "Fire whoever called Crown Princess Mary a Scottish women,"

 

So many idiots on social media refer to 'women' when they mean 'woman'. It's like when they talk about a woman and his husband. Many internet jokes make this same mistake.

Bruce, it's a pretty big deal to replant large areas. Any bit of old vine root left  will spring up again. They are hard to kill. You'd be better off starting from a new suitable paddock in a lot of Cases.. Your row spacing and truss height. design and  Irrigation and drainage all have to be accounted for and the new plants guarded  to protect them and from  rabbits etc  and trained on the trellis wires carefully to get the right form and structure.  Nev

Plenty of changes going on in established areas over here Nev. I reckon the main reason is to change the variety.... years ago, chardonnay was the in variety, now I reckon it may be Merlot. I reckon it's the hardest decision of all to make. Changing the rootstock at the same time would be quite easy in comparison.

Are there people in Australia who only speak russian yet have australian citizenship?   Who allowed this?

Probably the same ones who allow people who cannot speak or read English, to have a driver's licence.

Why does it matter?

Because they don't know the law, and can't read the signs. As I've said before, just watch Highway Patrol or Motorcycle Cops (Aussie shows). They have no idea what the cops are talking about when they get pulled up, or put on a bloody good act of acting dumb.
