3 years ago i moved to Germany. I had sold all my equipment cause i thought i could buy or make it all as cheap as i had in the States, big mistake. so now i am starting from scratch. Through my new job i found i have acess to alot of metal, and means to bend and shape it all. Now the actual...

still in the trying to find(and be able to afford) new equipment. was curious what kinda prices people have been paying at best malz, and is there a minimum order when you pick it up yourself?

I had that before with some of my centennial. and as that is all I had, no doubts that it was centennial :) random frwaky big cones, and no rhime or reason to side arm length. I had sidearms from 6" to pushing 3'. I alwasy attributed it to light, and soil. no real clue if that is...

I never tested this, but I was told that marigolds will keep cats away. plant 1-2 in there with the hops

If your going to plant em and not visit till harvest(meanin you wont be there to run mor strings) Id also attach a few runners to any trees or anything else high near the fence. Given stuff to climb it is amaizing what they will do on their own.

Fenceline ?'s Standarb barbed wire(or non barbed)? How many rows of wire, 1? 2? 3 high? Assuming standard wny farmland practice there are 2-3 rows of wire, I would tie twine runners every foot or so conneceting the rows. drop a stake of some sort in the ground near the rhizome, and fan...

works for me

lol if the weather is like here in Giessen, it snowed then rained then snowed then got warm and is now cold again. Now on topic, what do you have planned for a trellis? Do you have a plan yet? If the gound where you are is half as wet as it is here there is not a ton you can do before...
