I’m designing a small farm and hops are a part of that. The soil is very wet and I’m thinking of planting the bines next to a vertical hugelkultur. I figured it would help the drainage issue and fertilization too. Does anyone have experience with such things?
I had years ago a small hop yard. I think hops grown in a Hugelkultur sounds like a good idea. I remember planting the hops in small mounds. May to you better luck than I have had and good hops!

Thanks T! The area he wants them is beside a pond. I think it’s too wet for them. I have successfully planted things around vertical hugelkultur’s before. I wouldn’t give it another thought if I were planting them here. I just don’t want his to die.
Thanks again!
