Maypole Layout

Just finished mulching and stringing a couple of the new beds today. I have been transplanting since early Feb and am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Only 8 more to go.

I am using Mason Twine for string this year as the coir twine and sisal started breaking every time it rained near the end of season. I got real tired of having to restring.

Using a 16' 4x4 bolted to a 4x6 concreted in the ground at 3'. The 4x4 is stepped on the pole 2' giving a total height of 18'.

Cheers

Wow, that's a big backyard rig.. Nice.

Read about dogs and hops!!!

 

[strat_thru_marshall]

that looks awesome! What varieties are you growing?

Are you going to plant anything else in those beds?

Ill probably plant something else in there just not certain what atm.

The two beds there are Nugget (fore ground) and Centennial. I also have Santium,Golding,Brewers Gold, Chinook, Mt Hood, Spalt Select, Sterling, and Liberty.

As for dogs and hops -they dont eat hop cones off the bine - I dont brew - I just grow hops and sell them -so I have no brewing waste that dogs can eat.

Cheers
