So I'm growing Willamette for the 1st time, and hops for that matter, and wanted to get some feed back.
Temp: I live in Northern NJ and the weather is finally warming up 60's. Once it's consistently in the high 60's just breaking into the 70's Im going to plant. Thoughts?
Soil: I've heard miracle grow is a safe bet, just as long as its not the water retaining kind (i dont know what it's called)
Location: I live in north NJ and our summers arent incredibly hot but it does get very humid. How important is shade? I can only count on one hand where the temps have been higher than 95 last year so Im thinking of resting my pots in a place where it starts shading around 1-2PM.
Plant pot: The larger the better? I just plan on getting a reasonably large plant pot and drilling extra holes for water drainage. Trellis and all.
Fertilizer?: this is where Im a bit lost... I heard Super Bloom is good or anything organic for that matter but how often do i fertilize?
Watering: My take on this is to water the soil until soaked(?)and then not to water again until soil looks/feels a bit dry.
