Maaaaaybe.

Glad I'm not the only nerd here haha

You're joking right? It's essentially a prerequisite of being here...

 

[Spohaw]

Cascade


Flinders


Red earth

Had to pot them up from the garden a few weeks ago so they probably aren't as good as they should be

They are going into their second season

That made me feel more comfortable here haha

 

[Yob]

Get some mulch on them mate, 2" or so

 

[Spohaw]

I got some coco coir here to top up the pots a bit more

Rhizomes were a little to big for the pots when I planted them out and I didn't make enough soil mix to go around that's why they are a little uncovered

I was ment to do that today but I was busy brewing/drinking and prepping for visitors

 

[Benn]

I'm after a Cascade Rhizome (Melbourne) if anyone is selling?

 

[Yob]

Starting to get a bit late mate. Most are starting to shoot so not a great time to be digging them up.

 

[Matplat]

I just ordered one from the diggers club....

I might have some extras. I'm planting out the rest today so I'll have a better idea this evening.

Where dya get your red earth from Spohaw?

 

[kahlerisms]

reducing them down to the three best looking bines ?

Is this an agreed upon technique? I tend to just let mine go but I've had pretty small harvests these past two years.

Pretty sure I got it from Colin from hops west in Albany wa , Wilson brewing company put me onto them ... Your best bet is to ask him for some contact info flave

Think I read that on here and in the "for the love of hops " book by stan hieronymus

The book doesn't have a great deal of info in it about growing so your best bet is to search around ahb for info on growing

I've only done one crop so far so you are better off asking/listening to people who have grown them for a while tbh

I'm kinda just winging it

Thought as much. Was wondering if there was someone else in WA selling them. A mate got a goldings, cascade and red earth from them. I got some wet red earth hops from them too. Gonna IPA with it see how that goes.

POR first attempt

What’s everyone using for fertiliser, mulch etc...?? I've found Organic Xtra to be great as a base fertiliser and Seasol as a bit of a booster. As for mulch, Teatree mulch as its a little denser then lucerne so it doesn't end up looking like a snow storm has hit my yard after some winds... and it smells good too which is a bonus

 

[BottloBill]

Miracle grow max feed for me

Victoria (from Hammer)


Chinook (from DrSmurto)


Currently in pots until they get slightly bigger, these are first year rhizomes so just babying them a little till they get bigger.

Also have a Cascade from Diggers Club on its way.
