Classic example of "if it's worth doin', it's worth overdoin'." Kudos brother!!

I planted my hops in mineral lick tubs that the local farmers get when they buy minerals for their cattle. They are black plastic and are the size of a half barrel. They are rather heavy, too heavy when wet, to move around. The reason I like this size is that in my zone 5 area the hops can...

Live in Macon Co. Not far from you at all.

Finally!! After 2 and a half weeks I finally was able to find and dig up a hops plant. I was able to get about 2 ft of roots with the start. The trouble was that it was growing in the middle of a rasberry briar and I couldn't tell what start was what. Had to wait to see some true leaves...

The cenntenials I received this year were only the size of my middle finger. The Nuggets looked about the size of a roosters foot with three toes and the other was three times that size with three offshoots.

This weekend I'm going to transplant some wild hops that my neighbor has out in his pasture. Neither he or his dad knows the variety and from it's location doesn't look to be planted there by any person but rather by mother nature. This plant has some beautiful cones on it every year and has...

I saw you mention catnip. Personally I would stay away from any of the mint family. They have a tendency to be invasive. I have one flower bed that has been overran with catnip. No matter how much pulling I do they still seem to come back. I like to use marigolds in my planting beds and...

Best of luck with your new hops. I like the idea of using an existing fence for support. You aught to be able to weave in a new upright rather easily with minimal effort. Good idea.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger. Will let all know when I receive order.

Going through a bunch of old stuff my son came across an old rotor for the TV. I had to explain to him how we had a tower and had to point the TV antenna towards the town that broadcasted the signal. How it lit up and went click click for every degree it changed direction. He thought it was...

I've never tasted synergy Dave's, what I like to do is not let it get too sour and when I put it in a bottle to carbonate I put a piece of dried ginger the size of my first pinky digit( tip to knuckle) in the bottle. Let it set on the counter for a couple days then fridge it. The ginger helps...
