Our Hops Trellis

A friend gave us 3 hop rhizomes and we wanted to have something green and pretty (and something that represented our love of craft beer) as part of the backdrop for our ceremony – so I figured I’d build a trellis. True to my usual mission statement I over-engineered the heck out of it… 24″ deep x 8″ dia sonotubes We have more sun in the back yard because of removing a tree that was trying to grow INTO our garage – unfortunately that also meant digging around (and ultimately digging out) roots from the tree. The tube on the left we spent almost 2 hours digging the simple hole because of a 4.5″ diameter root that I had to saw out by hand. Tamped the back-fill around the tubes Picked up a nice heavy tamper today at a yard...
