NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: hop plant life span?

I have some EK Goldings that have produced quite a bit in the past, but
are presently not doing well. They are 8 or more years old, and have not
done well for the last few years. Do hop plants have a life span, ie
after x years they are old, and should be replaced?

Thanks Alan,
I did hear anecdotal evidence that suggests Cascade isn't a high yield hop.

Despite the cascade plant only being in its second year, about ten or so strong
shoots have appeared from the one crown and they look quite promising.

The fun part will be keeping the water up to the hops as yet another harsh
aussie summer approaches.

Cheers,
Rowan
