hi all,
I started this year 2 hop plants cascade and chinook with the cascade in our heavy clay soil and chinook in a pot, needless to say the cascade barely broke ground and was dead looking by the end of june while the chinook did great and produced some cones. So I dug out the cascade and it put out almost no roots and i think the rhizome even shrunk in size, and I put it in another pot.
My question is, when they get too big for the pots what can I do with our soil that won't kill my plants, can I start amending it now with something to get it ready? Any help here would be appreciated.
