i know i know before anyone tells me i should have started a new topic but i think this will be of intrest to anyone purchasing rhizomes how do you store dug up rhizomes over winter oviously in the fridge but in plastic or in soil do you wash them first do you cut them back ?
cheers & sorry for the hijack h34r:
They are all washed and free from soil for quarantine purposes. Leave them as when you purchased them for winter. Crack the snaplock or vacuum bag open and leave them in the fridge for several months if necessary. Keep an eye on them though so they dont get too dry or wet in the fridge. They are hardy, I have frozen some solid and they still yielded flowers the following season.
Dont cut them at all. Simply plant horizontally in August/Sept in well drained, preferably elevated, liquid- fertilised soil and voila, hop flowers of your very own!
Grow on brothers.
