Claim:
1. A method of growing a grapevine in a cover layer of a landfill to produce grapes for direct human consumption, said method comprising the steps of: excavating at least one hole in said cover layer of said landfill; providing at least one porous root growth control vessel resistant to degradation; inserting said at least one porous root growth control vessel into a respective one of said at least one excavated hole; filling said at least one porous root growth control vessel with a soil media; and permanently planting and growing a grapevine seedling within each of said at least one porous root growth control vessel planted in said cover of said landfill for safely producing grapes from the grapevine grown on by preventing root penetration of the grapevine into buried materials in the landfill thereby preventing uptake of any bio-accumulative chemicals that could be passed along to the grapes which may be detrimental to the health of the vine or to the human.
