You can get high nitrogen food supplements in Grow shops.

Rotten grass, pine tree brances and needles, kitchen scraps and tea bags are all good for nitrogen.

@johnrm - about 10 foot to the gable, but there's another 10 foot of gable that I can net up if needed. i can also zigzag them to make the most of the space ;)

@Tom - the shed's full of crap, but it has crossed my mind

@Garry - I got mine from Eickelmann too, but planted them out straight away.

@Eoin - the pots are open bottom, so the roots can travel wherever they want once they hit the ground.

@brenmurphy - I'd love a polytunnel. pretty soon you'll never need to fork out again for your weed.. i mean... hops... yes, hops... look! a bird!

My mother makes a big tub of 'tea' with grass cuttings, weeds, nettles, etc and uses this as a fertilizer for her veg. might be the job for hops too.
