RE: HOP UPDATE, GET READY TO BREW

in #hops7 years ago

Hmmm......wonder how I will start growing hops here. If it were as easy as grabbing and planting a tomato plant then I would be rolling in hops.

My upvote is only worth a couple cents presently but you have it on any of your content for sure.

Thanks,

As far as growing hops, they are a rather sturdy plant. From my earlier blog there is a picture of some rhizomes which I dug up. I could have replanted them several days later and they would still thrive. A great site for details on types, planting, care, etc. is modernfarmer.com. The hop beds that I have established need to be thinned every couple of years. By thinning you literally pull up the roots to the plant and cut back. Whenever I do this I have hundreds of rhizomes. About 10 years ago Ryan and me started a small business selling rhizomes, labor intense little profit. Now we grow for fun!!
