Plant tone is organic and pretty mild so its probably not over fertilization. If its been a month you should probably give it another dose. It looks like a very mild deficiency, nothing to worry about. Be sure when you add the plant-tone to pull back the layer of mulch first then water it in...

Freshops.com Sent me two replacement "brewer's gold" rhizomes and they are big and very healthy looking.

Got a pretty quick reply and i am pleased... unfortunatly they are running low on replacement rhizomes... is it too late to maybe start some in containers and transplant next year or should i just plant them now? which ones do you guys think i should get? Earthy, We are finding that we...

:ban:

I planted them on the 19th and the first ones popped up after about 2 weeks... The other 2 never started... Im about to send an email to freshops and see if they will send me either replacements or a refund. I planted their rhizomes in professional grade soil and gave them excellent conditions...

first 2 sprouts popped up the other day... the other two still nothing. If the other 2 don't start I'm gonna send an email to the Freshops guys and see if they will send some replacements... If I do Ill let your know how their customer service is...

Just got my rhizomes from freshops... planted them about 2" under the soil with straight potting soil to help give them a good start.

The "pro-biotics" are little bacteria that colonize and feed the plant's roots by breakdowning the organic nutrients and changing them from a form the plant CAN'T use into a form that a plant CAN use. So the foundation of organic gardening is forming and growing these colonies of microbes and...

If you add crushed egg shells with the coffee grounds it will balance out the pH. Peat moss is a great soil addition if you have sandy soil. Just mix it 50/50 sandy soil/peat moss and you'll get alot better moisture/nutrient retention. Miracle gro tends to be alittle harsh (salty) and...

I wouldn't put fresh coffee grounds directly on them. Coffee tends to be pretty acidic and hops like a more neutral pH. Also be very careful not to keep it too wet or the roots may rot. Roots need AIR as well as water and nutrients.

Are they all gone?

So the first year i let all the bines grow? then next year 3-4 per rhizome? I ordered 4 cascade rhizomes through freshops.com. I should get them in the next week or so. If i plant now and give them a good place to grow what can i expect yeild-wise this year?

Well.. i was thinking about putting twine up each post and just letting it grow up that and eventually cover the top like a canopy. Would it be better to run abunch of lines vertically through the middle? The pergola is about 7ft tall so eventually i will have to train them to grow sideways...

I just finished building a pergola for my hops... Do you guys think this will work as it should? I don't really have the option of doing the big 16' tall lines cause we have close neighbors and a home owners association and we were afraid someone might complain... Im about to order some...
