Back on the 18th I placed an order for 5 different rhizomes from DIY Brewing Co. to be delivered in April.
I also made up my mind over the last few days on how I was going to setup my raised bed hops garden.
My plan is to build 5 36"x36"x12" cedar boxes to contain a single hop variety each.
I will be stringing rope between two trees in my side yard that has the most southern exposure. The trees are roughly 55' apart leaving me plenty of room for future expansion if things go well this year. The rope will be approx. 12' high with 2 pieces of twine dropped down to each box in a V formation. I will be running the rope through eye hooks to allow for lowering of the bines at harvest time.
Here are a couple of renderings that I did in Sketchup.
