Growing hops

[Gatorchip]

Just planted 3 centennial rhizomes today. also picked up some materials to use the sprinkler system for when I plant them outside.

I read that a lot of people fuck up growing these. Anyone grow?

full sun, grows like grapes...like a weed once established. Whether utilizing the buds or not, it is a beautiful plant.

I've looked into it a great deal and will eventually grow some of my own.

From what I read it mainly depends on the climate, amount of sun it gets (as beardown said) and soil.

I've read overwatering is what usually gets people from the start.

By the way, it's snowing out right now. Glad I didn't plant outside yesterday.

my buddy who brews professionally out in CA grows in his backyard, was talking with him yesterday and he said he is going to send me some rhizomes shortly

Most yer nurseries carry ornamental and functional now.

Depending on your brewing level, most of those would be fine. If you are deep into brewing, order em' online and get exactly what you want.

They add a lot to any landscaping, whether you brew or not.
