Anyone been successful at growing Humulus lupulus? I have collected four varieties of hop plants that I'm going to start growing for my home brewed beer (cascade, centennial, chinook, and glacier).
Just wondering what types of soil you use, watering tips, or if you have any other tips or secrets? From what I hear, these things will do great in a well drained, neutral pH soil. I made some small raised planters out of rocks in a sunny location, and hopefully the plants will grow up the hill along 20 ft. guy-wires. I'm going to do a mixture of potting soil, sand, aged manure, and top soil, covered w/ some fine wood mulch.
