Thanks for your help everyone Checked them this morning and there are new sprouts Very happy

As a side note the wife felt guilty and I got some adult benefits from this mess so in the end it may be worth it???

How does one baby them?? It's 80 degrees today and calling for 45 tomorrow I'd hate to dig them up Sometimes **** happens But to be honest it's like a dog dying Sad and heart wrenching but new ryzomes are like 5 bucks

Thanks cutting them back now Trust me the poor girl that answered the phone for trugreej got an earful but in the end what can anyone do so I am hitting the kegorator hard and fast It all will be good

My wife thought she would do something nice and call TruGreen to come and take care of the yard. Well, they used some sort of weed killer on my yard and my hops which are 3 years old now. Just when they are going to be fairly good. I had nice crowns and had plans to cut them back before...

So, My March pump died and I wanted to try the Chugger Pumps. They didn't have whole units on sale on Ebay, so I just ordered the Stainless Steel Pump Head. It is a well made, beautiful pump. Well worth the $45 with shipping. I went to install it on my motor and low and behold, my pump was...

This place is really great and they have a lot of different things you may be able to incorporate for your rail: http://www.kingmetals.com/Default.aspx?page=category search...

The beauty of RTD Probes is that they can be extended witout worry of a calibration issue. When I made my system, I ordered 6' leads for my PT100 RTD Probes. I was worried the same as you and after much research and asking of electricians at various chemical facilities, RTDs use 3 or 4 wires...

I am in Virginia, zip 22812. I am about 2 hours from Baltimore. I travel to DC often, maybe we can meet up. PM me if interested. I work for a custom metal fabricator and we specialize in all things stainless. http://shickel.com/ if you are interested. We wouldn't run this thru the shop, I...

I am not sure of all the applications you are using, but my solenoids are fused in the box with AGC fuses. You can get these up to 30 amps, just make sure your wiring is sized to match the fuse. Fuses protect the wiring from catching fire, not so much the item they are powering. For my Rims...

They look good, no worries. Get a stainless steel "toothbrush" from a weld supply house, like $2, and scrub them good, they will look like a million bucks. If you can't find one, I can send you one, we have about 4000 of them in the stockroom. If they are purged, you won't have sugar on the...

I want the hops to grow exactly where they are since I set up a trellis system and they get the proper amount of sun. So I suppose I will just put the potted portion in the ground as well once the leaves die down. Thanks for all the help and advice.

Cool. What should I do with the pot? Should I put some straw on the one in the ground?

Pilot holes are essential, and a good lube makes all the difference. We use a variety of drilling and tapping fluids here where I work and I like this stuff: http://www.mcmaster.com/#tapping-fluids/=911suy

Hello, This past spring, I pot planted a nice Cascade and it grew and grew and I got 3oz from it dried, not bad for a first year. It has since died down. I was mowing the lawn the other weekend and decided I could move the post and try and store it. When I picked it up, it wouldn't move...
