I'm not sure what to do so I'm posting here. I have about 20 hops plants, all different varieties. This is my second growing year for some and 1st for the others. Last year I did so well. This year not so much. First, I had a slug infestation. Next japanese beetles(I think) now aphids and all the while I was having issues with my hops browning on the bine before it was ripe. Now I'm harvesting what little can be harvested and after googling, I think my hops have a fungal infection some with Alternaria alternata and some with Podosphaera macularis. Can I use the hops that have the fungal infections? I've read that there is nothing you can do about Alternata? What about Podosphaera? Lastly... the aphids. Obviously, since I'm harvesting what I can it's too late for Lady bugs.. but what the heck do I do!? So frustrating. Any guidance or experiences would be appreciated.
