A warm north bay area winter spring has my hops popping up! Photos to come.

reverendj1 said:Are those bins like 2ftx2ftx5ft? Being that they seem to be on concrete, they probably aren't bottomless. And you have ~4 different varieties in each bin? I'm no hop expert, but I think you are really crowding those babies. Everything I've read says you need at least 5ft between different varieties, and 3 ft between plantings of the same variety. They also have very big root systems, so you need a lot of room for them to grow down too. If you don't move those, I'm pretty sure you are going to have a big mess on your hands. But again, I'm no hop expert. I plan on growing my first this year....
