Huh. I thought that was maybe rodents in my garden. I put fence around, and I don't see any more of mine damaged like that. I only really noticed damage on the Nugget, and not the Cascade.
So, according to this, my 2nd year hops are very low on phosphorous, ok on potash, low to very low on nitrogen and neutral to alkaline. Hmmm.
I just put blood meal down two months ago for nitrogen, I hear that vinegar can work for lowering pH and not sure how to do phosphorous as bone meal takes months to break down.

My centennial pot on the left and my chinook pot on the right.
All I know about using vinegar in the garden is that it can be used as a herbicide (plant killer).
xmas lights on the hops? LOL.
(l-r) Willamette, Cascade & Columbus. Second year growth, although they were transplanted end of last year after harvest (see my blog for details)
Very Nice, I like seeing a post from a fellow Washingtonian for climate perspective. Although your columbus is way past any of my second year vines.
2 out of 6 plants have broken ground. The rest started then we were going to get snow and frost for another week so i put 1/2 of dirt over the little bit that was showing. They still haven't broken ground and it's been weeks. Think They are done for?
Freakin new puppy chewed 5 bines at the base of my 15' tall nugget that had burs. SOB. I kicked that bstrd. 6 weeks of growth down the drain.
