we started getting ready for next season. Clipped the dying bines and pulled the posts. Cut more posts and dug 32 holes. 16 posts, 16 anchors.

i wanted to change the spot/trellis for a variety of reasons. We now are oriented exactly east-west for full sun. We widened the rows to 10'. The plants will be strung up in a v also, hopefully maximizing sunlight and air movement. The soil is also deeper and well drained in the new spot. 24 hills. Haven't decided if we're going to do two rhizomes per hill or not.
We're planning on getting some topsoil and mulch for the hills next. I finally got the water tote also. Hopefully next up is a timer and valve for the tote along with drip tape.
