Bulldozed Hops

[Schlenkerla]

No I haven't chatted with the man yet....

I gradually started to accept that I would have to take it down this year after the first incident. (It was partially my fault for having it on his side of the easement.) I had the chance to mellow out after the whole thing. We had a cold snap.

I could have had the chat on St Patty's Day. I was more amused at just watching him try to dig out his dump truck out of the muck. It was stuck up to the axles in red clay.

After this I need to really chat with SOB. There's no excuses now. There wasn't any snow on the ground this time.

Just seeing the flipp'n post busted off re-instilled all of my previous anger Until today wasn't a total loss.

If he was a stand-up guy, he would have come over, knocked on your door, explained that he screwed up and offered to make amends. The fact that he didn't (and you can't miss a broken 4x4 pole) speaks volumes to this guy's character.

Enough subtilty - go and have a "word in his ear".
feck em.

I was out this week on business.... My wife tells me he came by and appologized profusely. He offered to buy a new post and install it for me. She said don't bother.

So he's not a bad guy after all.

Thanks for your sympathy

So have you gone looking for your root stocks? Rhizomes? For replanting anyhow...

I'd go have a talk and just ask him the try and avoid your hops. Most guys will be especially careful if they know it's beer related.

I'm going to go retrieve the two that remain in place. The other two where removed with the snow plow.

I need to do that soon so they aren't disturbed by any other dozer traffic.
