I didn't make it a point of observation this year, but is seems that in the past, I've seen the potential for two roots at each(or some) leaf nodes. One is on the bottom of the vine, and usually developes(with our help sometimes), and the second is more near the top of vine, and I don't know if this one developes very often. Have any of you noticed this? If there is potential for two roots at each node(which I don't know if this is true), I'm wondering if using some rooting hormone, would cause the second one to develope?

Probably burying the vine would help coax the second root to take off.

Doug, most people bury there vines for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is extra root development from the top of the leaf node. If you cover it with soil, that node will grow into a root and down into your soil.

Thanks for your replies. I do bury my vines. I wish I would have been more observant when pulling the vines up, to see if two roots formed at each nodes. Do most people who bury vines get two roots to take of at each node?

I like mycohorrizae fungi, I feel it works remarkably, but still to be proven. I used it this year and had pb.
