Great prices!

Great prices!

No kidding. I'd snap them up if I weren't struggling to find space.

I'll be in for trying 1 - sent email already but my issue is the soil where I am now is great for making bricks (90%clay)
but bloody hopeless for growing stuff.

I'm slowly making it better though. I have 2 Hallartau and a Goldings that are kind of surviving.

Mix in some sand to make the soil a bit more loamy.

Yes that old wives tale works great - so long as you add 80% plus sand.
Best way is just add organics (compost/manure) as much and often as you can
If anyone mentions gypsum - forget it - only works on certain clay types and mine isn't it.

Thanks for the info Belgrave brewer. For new gardeners it's a good start, but for the goop I've got - not effective unless you go LARGE.

I might post a pic of a garden bed section I've dug out to show how bad it is.

This is a section I've dug about 1 spade deep - there's been no rain in the last week.

Give up brewing, go into pottery.

Yeah, you'd be better off growing rice in this location.

Yep, Yob's right. I use 110L "pots" (220L plastic barrels sawed in half). Hops grow perfectly fine in them. Make the beds about 1/2 meter deep and Bob's your hops' uncle.
