My third year hops seem to be dying again. These hops are in a large container and grew really well for their first year and a half. Then I moved from Colorado to Utah and within a couple weeks the leaves turned brown and the plant started dying. This year they started growing and were doing great until about a month ago. Just like last summer the leaves are browning on the edges and the bines have stopped all upward growth. I can't figure it out. I've sprayed them several times with Bug-B-Gone and can't see any bugs on them. They are watered regularly. I haven't got a single hop cone off this plant in three years and am getting a little discouraged.
BTW, I did add about 1/2 inch layer of composted manure on them today. Hopefully that helps. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
