2014 hop harvest was low this year due to moles digging up my roots. The two cascades in the foreground still did well however I got moderate harvest from two Zeus and nothing else from the Chinook, Willamette and Magnum. One hop died to the right of the irrigation box due to massive tunneling from mr mole. Harvest was late, Sept 13, due to travel. The cones were dry on the vine and Cascade had mites. The lady bugs love it.
A total of 4 trays of cascade are drying at 95F for 48 hours and will be saved for a late of dry hopping.
Some Zeus (huge cones) will be used for the same. They will be dried next.
Water schedule this year was 4 minutes in the morning and afternoon. Each plant had a small sprayer.
