I came home today to see the main vine laying nice and low. I was excited as I figured it had finally settled the way I wanted it to. On closer inspection I noticed a small kink further up the vine. As I made my way down the length of the main vine I was horrified to notice a decent sized tear that ran the length of the vine by a leaf node for about 2.5 inches (at about 7.5-8.5 feet). The tear is definitely deep enough that you can see the cavity. In fact the cavity tear is wide enough that you could insert the end of a rolled up 5 dollar bill into it! To make matters worse further down the vine there is a horizontal tear by a leaf node--this one is only on the surface (about .5 inches long) and does not penetrate too deep. Should I cover the cavity tear with soil? should I keep it dry? Any advice would be much appreciated please email if you have had a similar experience or have advice.
