I am planning on trying to get some hop plants started this year and I have been reading a lot of information on the subject and have come to a few questions for the experienced ones out there:
1. How many rhizomes would you recommend starting out with if youve never grown them before.
2. Any favorite methods to direct the vines? For ex. I am thinking of making a trellis from twine and poles to grow the vines off of. Any suggestions?
3. Any types of hops you have found difficult to work with?
4. Does anyone ever buy more than one rhizome of a variety in case the other fails to produce or is this rare?
Thats all my questions, however, any other general advice and knowledge you wish you had known when you first started would be great to hear!
Thanks!
