Well last week and I got three varieties of hops. I put them in a small planter for now but needed to make them a place to grow. Yesterday I stopped at Lowes and bought some redwood fencing and a plank of redwood to make two planters and a trellis.
I made a short planter for two of the hops since they can then grow into the soil, but I had to make a tall skinny one that will go on a sidewalk and be small enough so you can walk past it.
today I made the two containers. I started with a box and then added the redwood fence to keep everything in and also to look nice.
I had the trellis at 12 feet but the wife thought it looked too tall so I cut it down to 9. I hope it's not too short.
It's not the most beautiful thing in the world but once the hops start growing on it it should look pretty good.
Oh and I just noticed one tiny hop peeking itself out of the little planter... Just in time. I'll add soil tomorrow and plant the little guys in there.
