Anyone? Bump

Has anyone seen any vanguard rhizomes for sale? Would like to try to find some for next year

and if your a dog owner, why would you want to risk it? i don't want my dogs to die to anything i may plant. I wouldn't chance it so I fenced mine in. better to fence them in then to run the possibility that they may eat them and die and my lab, she will eat ANYTHING! So I definitely don't...

freezing would only serve to freeze the water in the hop. it would not be able to dehydrate.

what variety is that? that is huge!

i tried using dawn but i only sprayed a few leaves. all those leaves i sprayed turned brown and shriveled up. the rest of the plant that was not sprayed continued to thrive. i wouldn't use dawn.

Don't forget to take into account that next season, you won't have nearly as much of a cost to get started. Unless you expand of course. otherwise you'll just replace your worms (maybe), get some more fish (maybe), and some seeds. thats where the real savings would start to show.

how often are you watering the tomatoe plant? you should try cutting back on the water for it. When you water them a lot, they put effort into growing larger. water them less and they will put their effort into producing tomatoes instead of growing the plant larger.

i put what i could in a large freezer for the stuff that didn't fit, i used a bottle bucket with a broken spiget handle to store 25# of grain in. i used the lid and fitted an airlock to it. I didn't end up using up the grain for 8-10 months. But as i used it, it was fresh smelling and free...

I didn't expect any but I got some. Not large at all but my battery operated timer broke on me and I didn't notice for a week. But because I knew i was moving soon, i had my hops planted in pots where they had no where to go for water. The bines died but new ones grew. Had i not accidently...

I got to brew over the weekend. I basically started my mash late saturday night/early sunday morning and then woke up around 5 hours later and finished brewing. Sunday was a busy day and i wanted to brew! I had to change an alternator out and work on the house. anyhow, i have read about...

I have been working 80 hour work weeks and if I'm going to brew, its going to have to be with a mash one day and brewing about 5 days later. Will it be ok to collect my wort and put it in a sanitized container for that time and then finish brewing later in the week?

I'm on the coast of MS but I didn't have anything worth harvesting. all of mine are first year plants; two of which nearly died off when my watering system failed and the plants didn't get water for about a week. They survived only to have their strings break in the wind. I only have a week...

my hops survived but my rope broke. We are still getting rain from it and some wind and we expect to get it for another 2 days but then i'll have to string it back up. first year centennial that is about 12 foot tall. should be fun to tie back up.

The entire 16 foot of bine died but the rhizome lives on. it put out another bine
