One of my co workers wives has some Perle hops growing in buried 20 gal. plastic storage bins. Well they've escaped
lol
The storage bin's cracked and the Hops have spread out into their lawn. This year when they started to sprout bines, She decided to get out a shovel and turn into a human rototiller and rip out all the roots in the grass. She did this with great efficiency, and put them in a 5 gallon bucket for the trash. So my co worker asked if I was interested in the scraps. Hell yea!
I sorted through the bucket of dirt/grass/hop roots and found about 12 possibly viable rhizomes. Unfortunately they had dried out sitting in their garage for a few days in the bucket. I planted them in a couple of pots last years flower pots. They had some nice potting soil along with some good partially decomposed flower roots. Well they've been in there for two weeks and starting to sprout some shoots!!! I'm going to plant them along my back fence shortly.
