2007 Cascade Hops Garden & Harvesting

« < 1 2 3 > »

this was the second season for the cascade hops, the harvest was four times what it was the first season the rhizomes where planted. The Perle hops where growing for their first season and didn't get taller than 6 feet. I could see from pruning this Spring (2008) that the Perle hop rhizome had spent most of its energy on growing viable roots!

How to Dig a Hole for Planting Hop Rhizomes

This hole can be anywhere from 9 to 12 inches deep and the same distance around horizontally. The layers of materials to put into your hole are the following from the bottom of the hole to the top of the hole. 1" of wood ash, 1" of straw, grass clippings or mulch, 1" of compost or manuer, 3" of top soil and then cover the hole with the last layer of 3" of mulch.
