For several years, we have made the choice to stop weeding inter-row mechanically. The entire vineyard is sown in the fall with grasses between the rows of vines which form a natural protective carpet.
This technique makes it easier to retain water in the soil by limiting evaporation and reducing the phenomenon of erosion and caking. This plant cover also promotes biological activity by increasing the rate of organic matter and therefore develops a rich and less fragile soil.
Finally, weeding is one of our actions which aims to develop the biodiversity essential to our vineyard.
Thus, accompanied by a multitude of plants, the vine awakens in spring a little less alone.
