This will be my 3rd season growing hops and I'm stoked to get an actual yield this year!
I've been growing them in pots since we were planning on selling the house for the past 2 years. We finally sold the house in the middle of last summer so I moved the plants to my parents house before they grew too big to move. After the summer I cut down the bines and went to move the pots to the garage but they were stuck to the ground. The roots grew through the bottom of the pots.
My question is: Is it ok to just rip them out of the ground or cut the roots so I can move them to their forever home in my new backyard? I'd think, since they're so invasive, that the plant would be just fine but I wanted to make sure since I've been babying these guys for a couple years now. I don't want to have to start over again!
