Thinking about getting some large containers and growing some extra hop plants for decorative/ privacy use. The neighbors and I both have raised decks, and we just need a little something.
I am considering some 2-1/2 foot tall ceramic pots and putting a trellis structure in them. That's the easy part.
If my hops do take off in the pots, and I'm able to keep them alive all summer, then what? Do container hops need to be taken care of during the Michigan winters? Can I just leave them out? Roll the pots into the garage? Do I take them out of the pots, trim and put them in the fridge or something? Seriously clueless.
Thanks in advance
