The Original, beware of imposters.
Setting up about 20' row for hops. The wife was off playing with the grandbabies, so I dug hole for the uprights about a foot south of the plants, in case of failure, it falls in my yard and has better triangulation of guy ropes.
Then I head across the street to my buddies shop where we wasted most of the day polishing keggles, swilling Jameson and watching Nascar.
I head back home after the wife had been back for a while, apparently long enough to have a couple of glasses of wine and survey my holes for the uprights. My wife has a Fung Shui condition, that combined with wine, makes me stupid and an A-hole.
Anyway, she points out where she thinks they should be, behind and north of the plants. I disagree, citing the engineering advantages. She says, "DON'T YOU SEE??, (like I'm missing some disruption of cosmic harmonies) You're effing stupid". After a long day of keg polishing and Jameson swilling, the only reply I could summon was, "Eff YOU, if you don't like my effing holes, drill your own effing holes". And I went to mow the front yard to blow off steam. I return 30 minutes later to discover she actually dug the effing holes!
The honorable thing would be to use her locations, since I "offered", but I don't like the triangulation, it doesn't leave option to add two more hops in the row and "think" the hops might like climbing south leaning twine more than north leaning twine. Am I that far off-base? I don't mind being wrong, I just don't have that much experience with it
In the second pic, my locations have rake and clamshell digger, hers are behind and inside.
Opinions appreciated.
