My dogs have never shown interest in the hops. A simple chicken wire fence with star pickets should keep them out if you are concerned.Lowlyf said:Does anyone grow hops and own dogs? How can you keep them away?
The core is Chinook, Cascade and Victoria along with the contentious Dwarf Cluster. I also have small amounts of Super Alpha, Nugget, Columbus, Cluster, S. Hellertau, Mt. Hood, Hersbrucker, and UK Gold, but not sure if I'll use them. It's a big project with 5 35 meter rows at 5 meters tall, and 3 25 meter rows at 4 meters tall.Camo6 said:Yeah, my dog wouldn't look twice at a hop flower on the bine. A few have had trouble with rhizomes being dug up but this is probably more due to soft 'diggable' soil. Just be sure to dump any sweet spent hops from the kettle where they can't get them.
That looks awesome Belgrave Brewer, how many varieties are you growing?

Looks like Yob has a new supplier.Belgrave Brewer said:Potting up the rest of the rhizomes today. They'll get planted next month once the infrastructure is in place.
We all know Yob is infatuated with the Dwarf Cluster.spog said:Looks like Yob has a new supplier.
Actually, just got 13 chinook rhizomes off Yob last week.spog said:Looks like Yob has a new supplier.

Try thoroughly rinsing and then pasteurising some spent grain and innoculating that before adding it to your compost pile, add into that a large amount of matured horse manure and pea straw that is also pasteurised.hoppy2B said:Seeing as none of you have anything interesting happening at the moment.....
I'm having a go at growing mushrooms in the hop garden at the moment. I pulled up a huge pile of weeds from in and around the hop garden. The pile measures about 2 metres across by 1 metre high. I chopped up about 100 grams of White Oyster mushroom into tiny pieces and sprinkled it through the pile as I built it up. I also put in some sheets of newspaper and sprayed some fertilizer and humate through the pile.
Hopefully I get a feed at the end of it. Then I will distribute the lovely compost around my hops etc.
