    What tensile strength cable or rope?

    I personally wouldn't really go 60' only reason is sagging is going to be bad unless you have the ability to tension everything. But with only 20 plants you could get away with 3/16" guy strand (1x7) or aircraft (7x19) cable. Both are pretty cheap. We run 1/4" guy for our row cable @400' of...

    Trellis wire vs. String Risers

    X2 gvh_Dan. When you think you've read everything about hops, just Google search "hops" And continue reading, I learn something everytime I look at my phone, walk my fields, dream about them. You get where I'm going. Going on year 4 of commercial growing and I continue to learn.
