Against all the odds and punishment. True witness of the "hardy" meaning. Here's my humble setup with first year Cascades, Yeoman, Northern Brewer (DE), Opal, Hallertau Aroma, Hallertau Mittlefrüh, Fuggle (UK), and East Kent Golding.

Thank you all for your input. Kerosene best describes the smell indeed. What i've ended doing after reading your replies is to leave them overnight open air on the trellis and the smell has gone away almost completely. So i have now put the bines to climb on them. It's nearly midseason and i...

Got some 4mm sisal twine from a depot store. They looked natural to the eye but when i opened the packet at home, it came this smell which i best can describe as fuel/oil, similar to what ropes in boats do. I have read some people describing the same smell, and also read about some twines...
