I have 2 very tall pine trees that are 21 feet apart right on the edge of my grass line where I'm going to grow hops. They would face east, and get a decent amount of sun, especially in the afternoon/evening.
I'd like to plant 4 varieties between the trees and use the trees for my trellis "poles".
How close to the pine trees could I plant the first rhizome on each side? I'm planning on about 1.5 feet away.
For the trellis, I was thinking of screwing in some eye bolts about 20 feet off the ground into each tree, and eye bolts on each tree at ground level as well. The running something up through as the main line. I bought some of the hop coconut husk twine to use for lines from the ground up. Is that twine strong enough to run as the main support or is there a cheapish alternative?
Any other ideas on how I might make it easy to put up and then back down?
