So like a lot of folks on here I like to make IPAs and also like a lot of people on here (I presume) I am not very rich. Again, like a lot of people on here I plan on growing some hops this season, I think I have room for 8 vines.
I was talking to a buddy the other day and he was saying that hops like to send out shoots and propagate themselves. His recommendation was to use some sort of liner to keep the roots at bay.
Hmmmm.
I like the idea of aggressive hops and maybe a jungle of them would be a good thing but I am just not ready for that.
Seeing as how I have absolutely no experience growing hops I was curious if some of you farmers out there could back up his claims or shoot them down.
This was the first I have heard of such a thing so I am not to sure I am going to dig a hole and put a liner in just on a casual conversation by the beer cooler at the co-op.
