It also attracts the right kinds of insects so essential to creating the complex flavors and aromas in the vines and the wines. Science will eventually prove this out. Ground covers can be tailored to the individual needs of the varietals and the fecundity of the fields as you fine tune your cover crop program. Depending on soil conditions and organic matter, some crops are tilled in, others are mowed. Each varietal has its own personality. Red grapes more power
