  • Spent hops advice needed

    Hi,
    I would like to know what use spent hops have and how can they be incorporated into a compost heap.
    Have also noticed wire like creepies in there and the hops going mouldy whilst still in a heap - any thoughts?


    Thank you

    Just chop mine into manageable pieces once dry and put them in the compost. Someone else might know more...

      I use it as a mulch on the veg beds. Keeps moisture in and weeds down.

      If you add it to the compost don't do so in thick layers as I found that it just went mushy and didn't really break down (though that might be that I'm not great at the whole compost turning thing ).

      Just my personal experience!
