I've seen many suggestions of making a small hill to plant hops in for better drainage, but I'm not seeing anything about what size the hill should be. I ended up planting my hops Monday in hills about 6" high and 2' across, but I wasn't really sure how big or wide was best for the hops.
So how high should the hill be from base ground level, and what shape should the hill be, more pointed or more of a plateau kind of. Currently shaped more like #1 in this pic, but guessing that I should add more soil and make it more like #2.
