About this listen

Vine thrives in areas where other agriculture is basically impossible - steep hillsides and relatively poor soils. It is a very long living perenna that during the long growing season, it sequesters carbon dioxide well - but it also has negative environmental impacts such as the cumulation of copper to the soil.
