Hop Growing 2014 season (Part 2)

The hops are now about a meter high and starting to work their way up the strings. Weeded around the base of each hop and then mulched with straw,wood shavings, and chicken poo from the Good Lady's chicken house.

Cut the bines back to the ground so there are only 6 left per plant, two for each string. Cut away the old retaining string from the bines as they are not needed anymore.

Watered the hops with a good gallon of water each, with Super Tomato Food added (Free from Sutton Seeds). I'll try and get down the Allotment at least twice a week to give them a good drink. I hoping for a good crop this year so I can make a few brews.
