These include nature natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has imported an a natural way to control its grape vinegrapevines.
The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. It has 8 hectors hectares of perfect grows rows of grape vinesgrapevines. The vines, like other plants, need to be pruned every year.
In general, dead or living parts of plants needs need to be removed to improve the shape or growth of the plant. Pruning grape vines grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of the leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines helps to help the grapes grow better.
But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the pruning. Instead, the job is done by 40 cute, little woolly wooly lambs.
David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting winery wineries in New Zealand.

Jonson Johnson says the young lambs are perfectly
designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on
the lower
part parts of the
winevine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes.
They only weight weigh about 22 killoes kilos, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good oganic fertilizersorganic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to prune the wines vines for 7 weeks in the summer. And when the pruning is done in Augest August, the lambs -- well, you might not want to know this part. They become lamb chops. tasty once Tasty ones, says David JonsonJohnson.
He says he had a difficult time to find finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50,000,000 lambs in New Zealand. But they there are not nearly as many in *Ontario. Also, some oganic organic pesticides are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be supervised so they do not prune too much.
David Jonson Johnson says the lambs carry out his environmental ideals ideas about farming. He says the lambs are lovely and peaceful and he likes to having them in his *vineyard. People visiting the * vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.
