I think I am doing pretty well growing hops (first year) compared to a lot of blog and forum posts I have read. I think the best thing I did was to prepare the soil the previous fall. The hop rhizomes have a perfect environment to thrive - loose soil, organically supplemented... The experiment of looping the hop bines on hose hangers allowed additional growth, but as of yet, those looped hops bines are not sending out lateral shoots (maybe later?). Anyway, next year I will come up with another hop trellis idea. DobroD,

Second year is a dramatic difference. I just harvested my first cones for a summer brew ( http://www.grillandbarrel.com/2009/08/bine-to-kettle/ ). Thanks for providing such great information. -D These look great for first year hops! Second year is a dramatic difference.
