I am on my third year growing hops. My first year was my most successful, as last year I waited too long before harvest, and they all rotted. This year was better, but I took to long to get to drying after I picked, and again, they rotted while in the bucket. Fortunately I didn't harvest all of...

Awesome, thanks y'all. I am going to try the BT, since I don't know how many there are, and they are on all 3 of my plants.

Nailed it, I saw a big ol caterpillar under one of the leaves. Is there anything you guys recommend to take care of them?

Hi all, this is my first year growing hops, and they started off not so hot. However I found out that it was sunburn / sun scorch. Since then, they have been growing fine, however I was checking them out yesterday, and there seems to be an insect that is chewing through some of the leaves. I...

Hi, I searched a little bit and was not able to find an answer. Do you think it would be a good idea to keep my grass clippings as mulch to put around the plants. I read that it is good for keeping weeds down, and it is also a good source of nitrogen and potassium.

I currently have only one, but now that the weather is a bit nicer, I should finish the other two by the weekend, and then in the ground they go! I actually modeled my boxes after your other post. How many vines(I forgot what they are actually called) is it safe to train around the same...

I have one nugget, one Zeus, and one cascade. I hope those are good, from what I've read they should grow. The cascade had already grown about an inch in the pot. I have a similar set up to the forum titled 2014 new hop garden. 4X4 box with ~7 ft high polls, that I will wrap twine around.

Awesome! This will give me a bit more time to finish my garden now too. The plants came in a bit earlier than I expected.

Like the title says, I am growing in southeast Michigan. I am a first time grower, and I got some plants in last Saturday. With the sudden snow in early April, I decided to pot them and keep them inside until the weather got a bit better. I was wondering if now would be a good time to plant, now...
