SWMBO and I just purchased our first home with a beautiful grape trellis in our backyard. Obviously this was going to become a hop trellis.
After planting my rhizomes and caring for them for a week, I receive a text message from my better half while I'm at work. It's simply a picture of a beautiful 14 wk old St. Bernard puppy, with a caption "meet your daughter".
Fantastic. I now own a dog that (according to her vet) will exceed 200lbs. Scratching my hopes of planting hops directly in the ground around the base of my hop trellis, I'm looking for help.
Anyone have a fool proof idea on how to plant my hops outside so that my mammoth won't eat them? Can't half ass this one either, not a fan of dead dogs.
I was thinking of planting in a raised pot high enough so Beethoven can't reach them, but will they require more room for an extensive root system?
Help.
