Ok, so I bought 1 columbus and 3 cascade rhizomes from Northern Brewer back in April along with some of the fertilizer they offered. I planted them in 14" wide pots (1 each to be clear). I treated them all the same as far as watering, used a 3/4 fill of potting soil, 1/4 of a cactus soil mix so I had enough flow to not oversoak the rhizomes. About 3 weeks in, 2 started growing above the soil line. The other 2 never grew. I still had time so ordered 2 chinook beginning of June. Planted them the second I got them by replacing the 2 that never took. Now those 2 chinook never grew and the rhizomes are just dead. The 2 other cascade are over 6 feet tall and doing great. Is there somthing better to try next year to get new ones to take? I keep wondering if the rhizomes are just crap and should look at ordering somewhere else. Maybe use a different soil type? I don't know where to go as this is my first go at this. I am disappointed that 4 out of 6 never grew. Any ideas?
