RE: HIGH HOPES FOR HOPS - EXTREME GARDENING

in #gardening6 years ago

@papa-pepper
If you haven't purchased rhizomes yet I recommend using fully rooted crowns. Several places offer them but I've had good luck with Great Lake Hops (no shill). They've got a massive selection of unusual varieties. (like Teamaker for non brewing purposes) and I haven't had one fail yet (not bad for a sample size of 400 plants)

Also don't underestimate the weight of the fully grown bines Ive ha 3/16 aircraft cable snapped like spaghetti. you can expect those trees to bend inward if the plants are happy!

Happy Hopping!
