[MKOB] hops

[Russ Clayton]

For what it's worth. I grew planted hops one year and had the vines 
going rather well. They were about 8 feet long or so, climbing on 
clothes line. Until the summer heat hit, and burnt them up. My problem 
was, that I didn't have a part of the yard to plant them in that had a 
good portion of the day in the shade.


You'll need to find a place to plant them that gets some sunlight during 
a portion of the day, but in the heat of the day gets shade. Also, 
watering daily during the hot months will be a must, sometimes twice daily.

Just my two cents, good luck.

I’m interested in the answer as well. For the price of the rhizomes I 
was thinking of giving it a try.
