I Love DIY
Resurrecting as I recently moved to the Chicago area from South Carolina, where growing hops is nearly impossible. Wandering if anything has changed in 2 years with growing hops in the area.
I have a plan for my trellis, about 15' tall, and a spot picked in my yard which gets about 6 hrs of sun spring to summer and faces west.
Planning on growing Cascade, Mt Hood, Centennial, and Nugget; 2 mounds each. Any suggestions would be great, or if anyone is growing these in there area already and would like to share some cuttings, I would much appreciate the help.
Thats a lot of space requirements, you should keep a 5 foot gap between plants at a minimum , can maybe be a bit smaller if you plant the same variety next to eachother...but separate varieties should be kept way apart...i'd say if your planting that many you'll need probably 30 feet of space minimum, 40 would be better.
