4 rhizomes were planted in the yard this spring. Of those only one was a success. All organic compost and fertilizers were used. It seems that the I built my trellis in the yard is in a really damp area when it rains. Mid summer I transferred one sad looking rhizome to a spot next to my garage. It took off like a weed. The other three barely grew to be 3 feet tall. Next spring I plan on making a raised garden bed around the trellis to help with the damp soil. The cascade that actually grew gave me a crop of almost 4oz wet hops. I'm really excited to use them in an upcoming brew soon.
