Suitable places for planting shrubs "Supaga" are areas with low levels of acidity. With regard to useful components, experienced growers have found a way that compensates for their lack of soil. It provides for the implementation of such recommendations:

• the place for planting grapes is cleared of the fertile layer of the earth;
• a pit is dug one meter deep;
• removed clay (if any);
• large stones are laid down, due to which a drainage is created, which will promote fresh air;
• humus and sand in equal quantity mixed with fertile soil, dolomite bait is added to this mixture, then everything is placed in the landing pit;
• above is a dense layer of soil;
• waits until the soil is rammed;
• the grapes are planted at a depth of 30 cm.

This is accompanied by swelling and detachment of the bark of the shoots. If appropriate actions were not taken on time, the death of the culture is guaranteed.
