Make sure you have plenty of room when you plant them, they can spread quite rapidly if not kept in check. Mine are in the hedge, but I still have to hack them back most years. Even after they are dug out, some shoots will still reappear after a few weeks. They must last hundreds of years as they can date medieval hedgrows by the variety of hops that are growing in them. I do not use them for beer, one friend takes some every year to make a hop pillow which they say cures insomnia.
Interesting thread. I've always fancied growing one but never thought to plant it in with the hedge doh! Any recommendations for variety, I thought the Golden hop sounded gorgeous. Just for looking at no beer needed
