It’s the little things…

As the vines grow into a vertical wall of foliage, we tuck them between the foliage wires and clip the parallel wires together for tension and guidance. For the last fifteen or so years we have used an ecological and biodegradable clip. The clips are made in Italy from compressed chestnut wood fibres. Neither glue nor solvents are used in the production process. As their website elegantly puts it “It as a very nice looking.” Later in the season they break and quickly biodegrade, fertilising the soil where they fall.

As they say, the devil is in the details.
