Commercial Hop Growing Videos

[Nick JD]

I've been watching some of Hops Direct's 2010 planting to harvest videos. They're quite interesting for those who are growing their own, or just for those who have never seen how a commercial operation works (like me).

The one on planting the rhizome and training the vines onto the string is handy - not sure how much the insects and pathogen video is helpful - although spidermites and aphids are probably an issue here.

He does say not to tip or you'll slow growth; and to train 3 vines up the one string. Interesting.

Very interesting, but the guy is scary
Wouldn't want to find yourself all alone in the fields
