Default Hops

I bought mine from Marshalls, they take a year to establish and boy they are very easy to grow BUT beware you can be allergic to the vine itself which contains tiny hairs and can give you an itchy rash.

To give you an idea of how many hops I got off one hill, I filled two buckets and if my bamboo sticks had been longer then I would have had more.

They are great as a cover plant, but remember they grow and grow and are a real bully.

Dry them out, outside, don't do them in the oven, stinks the house out and it ends up smelling like a brewery.
