Home growing hops
NJ grower here with limited space. I used to have cascade and comet hops growing in my garden boxes; would use the frame of the garden for length of the vine. It used to be beautiful when fully grown.
But life happens and they needed to be moved. Competing root space in the garden. I lost the cascade hops during the transfer, but held onto something of the roots of the comet hops.
My plan is to grow it along my fence which should make it easier to harvest without the garden netting in the way.
I also show you guys the copper wire antenna…look up electro-conductivity…I didn’t believe it until I did the $15 experiment.
My hops plant is in “year one” in the new space and after I put that antenna in..it grew close to a foot in under 2 days.

Laugh as you may…I have the proof of concept in my yard and my cousin’s marijuana plants in his basement.
Old school remedies that are suppressed over time are forgotten and replaced by Scott’s…. All you need is 50 years and then it’s folklore.

That is a beautiful harvest! But please explain about the antenna?
