Hey All,
So I got two hop plants growing in buckets. It's the start of the second year they have been in there. They have been sprouting up for about 6 or so weeks now.
I wanted to limit the vines to about 3 this year and it appears that I have about 5 to 8 vines sprouting out of each pot.
I was reading that I should let the grow to be about a foot and then see which ones look the strongest and go with those.
I am wondering what the proper way to prune them is. Do I just snip the ones I don't want off at the soil level or am I supposed to dig down and do something at the root level? Thanks.
