Yer thanks cascade is citrusy if I'm not mistaken. I'm just happy they are growing TBH. I Can't get any thing to grow so well pleased. I in South Wales nice and wet so I think that helps.

You guys put so much effort into your hops. When I got mine that I ordered online just before Xmas just gone. I put them in large pots with holes and stone in the bottom added the compost and placed the rhizomes in. They are coming along fine ATM. If any one is thinking about growing hops I say...

Sounds like the line is to short m8. I needed 15 m + for mine to stop.

Ok. why did you do that? Did you think it helped make a healthyer plant? I'm a bit confused what to do. I'm growing a cascade, fuggles and challenger Thanks for the reply
