Hello all those knowledgeable in the field of hops (terrible pun intended),
I have reached the point in my adventures in home brewing and would like to start growing hops. I live in south central SD, with sandy soil, and we happen to have a farm, so space is not an issue. Also, we had some old utility poles take out a few years ago and the city never picked them up. Well that is the back story, now for the questions.
Are hops grow-able in the sand hills?
How can i utilize these poles to make a hop trellis?
My brother and I will, hopefully, figure out what kind(s) of hops we want to grow soon, at least before the spring.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Chip
