I've been on the same piece of property for 24 years. Three acres in the country and aside from the creek line I keep it all mowed. I've always had a garden but this year I expanded it and added a trellis for hops. I planted 8 hop plants and they are starting to take off. Now up until now, I've very rarely gotten a tick on me. But so far this year I've had four and every time it was after handling my hop plants - training the bines. Luckily I can feel them crawling on my forearm and pick them off before they take a bite. But has anyone else noticed their hop plants attracting ticks? What do you do to control them? This is central Ohio by the way in case that matters.
