I can't speak for other places, but here in Oregon a good small scale remedy for grapes is a level teaspoon of laundry borax sprinkled around the vine at budbreak. It's only needed every two to four years though. Oddly, boron toxicity in grapes looks very much like boron deficiency.

hardware store and sprinkle it on? Is there some source that is designed
