Background: I've been brewing for a few years, recently bought a 30-acre farm in Wisconsin, and am now looking at growing some hops. About half of the land is leased for feed grains, but I have some that I can use to try this out and see if hops like the environment. I have set up a space to put in two rows, but for a variety of reasons ended up ordering a bit late.
One row is Hallertau Mittelfruh; I got 21 plants from Sandy Ridge Farms, planted them the same day, and they all appear to be doing fine (so far).
I ordered 26 Crystal rhizomes from "buyhoprhizomes.com" that have not yet arrived. Tracking shows them to be in the USPS, hopefully to get here Saturday.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there anything special I need to know about planting rhizomes?
2) Is there anything I should look for to indicate that a rhizome is viable or not-viable?
3) Has anyone here had good or bad experience with "buyhoprhizomes.com"? Are they generally considered reputable?
Thanks in advance for the assistance!
