Title: Hop Rhizomes
Post by: The Bull on April 05, 2017, 03:46:10 PM
I was hoping to grow some hops in the back garden.

I found a previous thread on here which lead me to look at German suppliers Eicklemann. However, appears I was a bit slow off the mark and most their varieties are out of stock until mid May.

I note some UK suppliers with stock, but before rolling the dice and picking a supplier I thought I'd ask encase anyone here has ordered from the UK before and could recommend one. (e.g.  essentiallyhops)

Cheers
