You should be able to get a hold of him as he'll most likely be recuperating from his operation for a while. Be back to tending to the oregano in no time.

You most likely won't hear back from them as they were trying to capitalize on Todd Bates' 20+ years of work trying to tame the savage beast (the local neomex plants he found growing nearby where he lives). His work was sold to a grower up in Yakima who's having some success with a few of the...

Oops, keep tabs on how much you use... Indole-3 acetic acid increased risk of impaired cognitive function in patients receiving hemodialysis

All the time! When a flush of new growth appears in the spring all you have to do is to lay a few of those down and cover them with soil or compost. As the growing tips emerge you can do one of two things 1) Allow them to continue to grow like any other shoot or 2) You can throw some more...

I'm hoping to have at least one new variety out of this project, there's probably another 10-15 trays like this that will all be grown out and put through their paces.

So you don't clean and sanitize your fernenter before filling it with your next batch of beer?

Good luck with the encyclopedia!

Well, probably not as good as the folks who talked me into starting the business thought, lol! A product dealing with sensory is always a gamble as everyone tastes, smells, perceives etc differently. It's hard to describe but think of having your head buried in your boiler as you gather up all...

It's pretty much run it's course, but that's it. Here's another link from a while back: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/hop-candy-recipe.273942/

Most of what you see online is nonsense unless it comes from a reliable source. Now that some universities outside the PNW have had 10 or so years to perform a little research in conjunction with the folks from the PNW, some useful data is being produced. The bug bit me in the late 80's when...

One other thing about leaving them up all winter is that there's always a chance for them to harbor disease or insects that may carry over into the next growing season. Sanitation in farming (keeping your growing area/farm) clean of potential sites to harbor the bad guys runs parallel to the...

That is definitely not a candidate for cutting back. The reason I mentioned that it all depends on the individual situation as to when and how you perform cultural practices on your hops is that all plants have requirements that will determine their overall health. The further away you move...

Until they're well established you ought to let everything grow to allow for good rootstock development. A lot of commercial growers will wait until the third season before they begin crowning. What you can do is to take a wait and see mentality at the beginning of your second season. If you...

Once you put them in the ground you have it if they weren't clean to begin with ;) https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=26032, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222714492_Detection_and_Elimination_of_Viruses_in_USDA_Hop_Humulus_lupulus_germplasm_collection...

Have those cuttings been virus indexed? And if so, did they provide the phytosanitary documentation?

Again, it comes down to timing the second (or third if you cut back twice) flush of growth to be ready to be trained at the appropriate time for maximum harvest. Each location is different and if you are growing in a non-traditional area you just have to use your best judgement based on how...

If you have any disease (dm or pm) in your plants, the spores generally overwinter in the buds located on the upper portion of the crowns. When these sprout and begin to grow, the spores can continue their life cycle and spread to surrounding plants. If you're serious about growing hops, this...
