We have a bunch of vines, green and red.

Last year we picked over 20lbs of grapes. Too much to use so half went into work, and others were able to use them.

What do you mean "half went into work"? Like for other farming/gardening purposes?

So far I have picked about 9lbs, and will harvest the remaining clusters this weekend. I estimate there could be around 6lbs still, perhaps more. And I think only 75% of the vine produced. I mean, I am using the 4-arm kniffin trellis system but one of the arms did not develop. So it was a 3-arm system this year, but it's certainly still a lot of grapes!

The vines at our house were there before we moved in. We haven't been doing any sort of maintenance except moving them out of the way. They've been growing along the back of our deck.

Ah I understand now, you brought them to work and gave them to friends, etc. to do something with them.

I have a friend with a garden and grapes running wild - also there before he moved in. Said he tried hacking it all the way back but can't kill the thing. He doesn't really maintain either, and now just lets the birds eat them.
