Making grape vines for a vineyard

Ten years ago I created vineyard using some Faller 18190 kits. Now that I have moved the winery onto a bigger hill, and also intend adding a terraced vineyard, I realized that I was going to need a lot of new grape vines. In fact, I was going to need about 47 meters of HO scale grape vines! Buying such a large number of vine kits was out of the question so I set about to make my own. I had to find a method that was cheap, and able to be scalable for the quantity of vines I needed to produce.

I have now completed adding additional vines to the vineyard and I am documenting the steps I used to create and plant the vines here.

Review: Faller grape vines 18190

Each blister pack of vines contains 36 chunks of vine, 4 end posts and a number of additional posts. No Instructions.

I decided to plant my vines running up-down the hills as is common practice in Europe. To install them I used my laser line to indicate where the holes were to be made.
