Thanks ratchie, Absolutely legend. I will keep you posted as to how your hops go locally in my backyard. You have a great setup that shows how to do it right in Queensland. Thanks for the great rhizomes and great tipsm on growing them. Good brew setup too! Canaussie:) :)

Thanks losp Healthy looking rhizomes with a few sprouts noticeable on each. Planted yesterday in my no dig garden pots. Should be the best chance for it in Queensland. Thanks again. I will send some photos when they get going so you can see how your babies are going.
