I've gotten two of my buddies to start brewing because of their interest in my brewing. Now I am growing hops to try to spread the love even more by giving out fresh free hops!

I'm no expert here, but I'd get them in some dirt (pot or ground) ASAP and add some posts if you could. Personally I have landscape timbers (8 ft.) in my yard that I am using. Those cost $2 each at Home Depot. Then maybe add some twine running up to the top of the post. You could always do the...

Good luck can't wait to see how it comes along! Can't beat $50 for land!

This guy is on year 3: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=525714

Thanks Pelican! I'm sure the same thing will happen to me. Maybe next year I'll build a second box for the third (and add a fourth!) variety.

How are those attached to each other? Wear a helmet lol!

Any clue where to buy dwarf varieties?

1729 whoa early

Nice! Where'd you come across a hard copy? Awesome

Meeker was known as "The Hop King" if I'm correct.

I'm in the same boat as you. Been 2 weeks now and 2 rhizomes out of 6 haven't sprouted. Giving it time though, as it has been a cold end of the month here in Baltimore. The farmer's almanac called it correctly...

Being a history nerd, and super cheap and not wanting to buy any books, I found these cool books from the 1800s about growing hops. Thought I'd share for those in the same boat as me. Ezra Meeker - Hop Culture in the United States: Being a Practical Treatise on Hop Growing in the Washington...

Yeah pretty sure that's gonna happen to me, wingin it here. Is it difficult to try to unwind bines to separate at harvest time? I have no idea what to expect.

Conjuring images from "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...

Cool maybe I'll just trim them to 2-3 bines, then next year focus on 1-2 depending on the plant.

I need more land! Nice setup! The winch was smart

Thanks man, but you're the innovator! I just wanted mine to be aesthetically pleasing but also not warp over time. Holler if you ever wanna know how I made mine. Good work on yours, can't wait to see how they come in this year.

You just gave me faith in mine! Thanks dude, needed that - I was having doubts. Did you trim any shoots back the first year, or let it go wild? I read somewhere you should let it go wild first year, but that it won't have as many cones. I see you had plenty!

Oh that is a sweet design. Maybe I should zigzag the twine like someone else suggested. His are like hop bushes haha!

Also a good idea! I put three types in, you think that would mix them up too much? PS I'm fully aware you're not supposed to plant multiple types that close, I'm just trying it out tho.
