that sort of helped answer the question....

awesome! how does the machine remove the hops from the vines?

interesting... removing and repacing that "clip".... I imagine it will not last long. can you get replacements easily?

haha there is a drop off over there...that is actually a standard size fence. ~8ft ? there is a 2-3ft elevation change at the end of the hop planter there. Pretty sure the neighbors don't really care though. already told them we planted hops :) No HOA anyway.

and how long is needed to actually produce usable cones once they begin to form?

We planted 4 varieties and have had limited success so far. our Cascade is not dead but being very stubborn...it is nearly ready to break ground (we think). Centennial Hops a few days after they broke ground. People swore we had something other than hops. same plant 6.12.11 The...

what if you use both....miracle grow as sort of just a booster...

hmmm maybe not enough water? and or they are dead....This is still my first year growing but I know I was told there is a strong chance the rhizomes will not grow.. maybe you just got really unlucky.

everyday....wish I had more growth.:(

Yep we have gotten some growth from our centennial and I think the Cascade is just starting to break the surface. Still nothing from the chinook and columbus though.:mad:

It is snowing on mine right now:mad::mad:

wow not sure if that is serious but it's hillarious! aside from that great looking spot you have there.....I have never been so excited about growing plants as I have with my hops..:rockin:

I wish I knew how much was too much when it comes to watering.... right now I am watering once per day in the evening.....the ground usually soaks it up pretty quickly.

how exactly are you supposed to trim them back? is there a right or wrong way to do this?
