Calling Hop Growers!

[caerleon]

Just brought Challenger and Fuggles plants to put over on the allotment - gonna have to wait for March to plant them and find a good framework to help them climb. Got several ideas from the internet, but does any other grower have a framework over 10 foot or know of a sound growing method?

I think you can make it as easy or difficult as you want. I have a simple ten foot wood tripod. It grows up to ten feet and then starts back down.

I went to look for the post where I had pics posted and noticed you started that one. :-)

Nothing fancy but the hops seem to do VERY well with it! Lots of sun and lots of water is what they like.

I can't remember where it is but you should check out Muddydiscos post last year. He built a huge contraption, but it could be scaled down :thumb:

This is how I grow mine, it's a dwarf variety "Prima Donna"
