Well, I have decided to try my hand at growing hops in planters on my roof. Ambitious? Yes. But I think it can be done. I live in San Diego, and have no yard. So, it is out of necessity I chose this method.
My rhizomes were delivered last weekend by Freshhops. Got 2 of Centennial and two Chinook.
The Centennials looked a little more robust and sure enough, after only 6 days in the soil, they are showing themselves!
I plan on running micro tubing up to the roof for automatic watering. Also, need to get my trellis going...
I'll post pics of the process as things develop, hopefully into success, but if failure, then others can learn from my mistakes!
Also for fun I've started a poll, where we can all "bet" the total number amount (in dry oz.) I end up with at harvest time. Remember 4 rhizomes on the roof. We'll close the "betting" in 30 days or so, and then we'll see what happens.
I'll put it out there now and say 32 oz total. Wish me luck!:rockin:
Cheers,
Mike
