I didn't collect anything in my first year. Make sure you get a spot with a lot of sun. Keep me posted on how it goes. BobJ – The first few years are slow, but they will take off.

I am hoping bines will extend horizontally and "fill in" - I will post how things go.

Your project will look great in the summer and fall. I wish I had a bit of property to do that. I get fresh hops from a woman on the southside, and her two vines completely cover a 6 ft iron fence along the back of her Chicago lot (about 20-25ft) and they are definitely more bushy, but amazingly filled in (tons of hops!). I imagine she keeps some of the old main vines up as the support for the new shoots every year...but not sure about that. You have such a wonderful space for your hoppy bounty.

There are going to be a few layers going on top of the posts that should give me about 8ft with 4th of width so that they can grow up and over. Sound good Ben?

I think you need to do some more research. Most people recommend atleast 12ft. So you only have 6.5ft above ground?? I think you need to do some more research. Most people recommend atleast 12ft.
