Hop bines support




Last year we planted two hop plants and this year they are ready to take off. They can grow up to 20 feet or more!!! So, I just finished building a support system for them to grow on. The bines (vines for hops) will grow up on three wires and then when we are ready to harvest I will lower the wires down on a rope and pulley system. Should be interesting!

Awesome setup! That's some good height, they'll love it up there near the sun... I bet they're up to my head by the time I get there - if not more! I've heard tell of almost literally being able to watch the bines grow when things are at their peak...
