hi folks,
planted some hops for the first time this year and they're doing great. we had some wet weather recently and they've really gone to town, putting off lots of sidearms.
I couldn't resist and decided to try to start some new plants using air layering where you just take a sidearm and stick it in a pot of dirt while leaving it attached to the parent plant while it gets going (used a little rooting hormone too)
anybody try this?
4 out of the 6 plants I started are doing fine but I wish I had a dozen and don't want to wait till next year
the whole setup
airlayer attempt 1
airlayer attempt 2
a pretty hops cone
