I just purchased 25 hop rhizomes and am looking for any help/tips from people who currently grow hops.
Just a little background, I haven't had the soil tested but I will be using the site of my dad's old garden where the soil is very rich. It's about 140'x70' and was used for close to 30 years. It has been dormant the past 5 years, since my dad passed away. There has been lots of manure and fertilizer applied during that time. The soil drains very well. I plan on using bamboo to stake it up.
